Abstract

At 2 Esd 12,12 (Neh 2,12), main text of Hanhart's critical edition of 2 Esdras has 'Iσραήλ equivalent to ~lvwryl. There are various possible explanations for this. The author introduces a possibility not previously considered, that the form 'Iσραήλ is due to the influence of $\textit{nomina sacra}$ on Greek textual transmission.
