23. Psalm 59:1z, according to the numeration of the Masoretic Text, which I have followed throughout in direct references to the Bible. The reading of legem tuam follows some Greek versions (nomoû tou), which evidently underlay the Old Latin version of Augustine; the Masoretic Text, the received versions of the Septuagint, and the Vulgate all read “my people [‘ammi, laû mou, populi mei].” Jerome also encountered a Latin reading of populi tui; see his Epistula 106.33, CSEL 55:z63–64: “Ne occidas eos, nequando obliviscantur populi tui. Pro quo in Graeco scriptum est: legis tuae; sed in Septuagintaet in Hebraeo non habet populi tui, sed populi mei; et a nobis ita versum est.” Cf. also Origen, Hexapla, ed. Fridericus Field (1875; reprint Hildesheim, Germany, 1964), 2:187; and the various Latin readings reviewed by Amnon Linder, review [in Hebrew] of Shlomo Simonsohn, Ha-Kes ha-Qadosh veha-Yehudim, in Zion, n.s. 61 (1996), 484–85.

39. Augustine, Enarrationes in Psalmos 58, esp. 58.1. 15–58.2.11, CCSL 39:740–753. 58.1.19 ends with the exhortation, “Quid hic respondebit infelix Pelagius,” indicating that the commentary could not date from much before 414, when Augustine became actively involved in the Pelagian controversy. See Rondet, “Essais sur la chronologie,” pp. 180–82; and Elizabeth A. Clark, The Origenist Controversy: The Cultural Construction of an Early Christian Debate (Princeton, N.J., 19gz), p. 232 and n. 307.
