Some late editors, and particularly Harduin, not knowing that Achor was
worshipped at Cyrene, as the [Greek: Theos apomuios], have omitted his
name, and transferred the history to Elis. But all the antient editions
mention Achor of Cyrene; _Cyrenaici Achorem Deum, &c_. I have examined
those printed at Rome, 1470, 1473. those of Venice, 1472, 1476, 1487, 1507,
1510. those of Parma, 1476, 1479, 1481. one at Brescia, 1496. the editions
at Paris, 1516, 1524, 1532. the Basil edition by Froben, 1523: and they all
have this reading. The edition also by Johannes Spira, 1469, has Acorem,
but with some variation. The spurious reading, _Elei myagrum Deum_, was, I
imagine, first admitted into the text by Sigismund Gelenius, who was misled
by the similarity of the two histories. Harduin has followed him blindly,
without taking any notice of the more antient and true reading.
