497 This title has been much expanded, as the briefer Greek shows, and
indeed much more than it shows. In 1 the addition of _priests and
prophets_ is in view of 8 and 15 evidently wrong. The Hebrew
_remnant of_ (before _the elders_) which Greek lacks is difficult.
It seems a later addition to the text when many of the elders had
died. Duhm's suggestion of a revolt of the early exiles and the
execution of many of the elders by Nebuchadrezzar is imaginary. In
verse 2 we have such a needless gloss or expansion as later scribes
were
