Since Mr. Simonides never visited Mount Sinai, but only went to Alexandria, and immediately afterwards went to England, where he is now, he is lying when he affirms positively that the ancient manuscript of the Bible, published by Mr. Tischendorf, is his work, because the manuscript in question (as I have been assured by the librarian of our holy monastery from the year 1841 to 1858) belonged to the library of the monastery and is marked in its ancient catalogues. The book, then, which the librarian appointed in 1841 found in this library, how could it possibly be the work of Simonides, since he never passed through Mount Sinai, but only went as far as Alexandria in 1852 and left directly from there without having visited any other part of Egypt? In every way, then, Simonides' claim is demonstrably false when he says that those ancient manuscripts were his work.
