Abstract

This paper analyzes the expressions sagittae … cum carbonibus iuniperorum – arrows with juniper charcoal (Ps Vg 119:4 iuxta Hebraeos) and sagittae … cum carbonibus desolatoriis – arrows with devastating charcoal (Ps Vg 119:4 iuxta LXX) in comparison with the Masoretic Text, the Septuagint, the Hexapla, and the Vetus Latina. Special attention is given to the linguistic and interpretative nuances of the Latin terms.
