108 Josep Rius-Camp and Jenny Read-Heimerdinger The construction of D05, ὀνόματι καλούμενοϛ, is unique in the Bezan text of Luke-Acts but is read by B03 at Lk. 19:2 (Zaccheus; D05 reads simply ὀνόματι). καλούμενοϛ is a third formula Luke employs to indicate the name by which a person was known: it presents a name that is not the real name, without going so far as to say it was a pseudonym. With respect to the Jewish false prophet, then, Luke says in the Bezan text that his real name (ὀνόματι) was, at the same time, thea name given to him, by which he was known (καλούμενοϛ). The contradiction redundancy apparent in the Bezan text reflects perfectly the double meaning of the name of the magician in that text: Βαριησοῦα. As Metzger points out16, the spelling of ‘Bar-Jesus’ in D05 ‘pressupposes a more exact transliteration of the Semitic Bar Jeshua’. At the same time, however, the Greek transliterates even more exactly the Hebrew verb, hwV, (‘savah’) of which the imperfect form is hwVy (‘yisvah’), and which means in the Piel ‘make ready’17. The correspondence between this name and the translation of it given by 13:8 D05 as Ἑτοιμᾶϛ (‘ready’)18 then becomes clear. Bar-Iesoua thus has two functions: it is the name that conveys the reality of the man being a disciple of Jesus, and at the same time as signalling that he was known as one who ‘makes ready’. 7 (οὗτοϛ) προσκαλεσάμενοϛ B P45.74 a rell ‖ συγκ- D, cum vocasset d. B03 uses the same verb as that used of the divine call of Barnabas and Saul (cf. 13:2; 16:10), although here, it has the weaker meaning of ‘summoned’ or simply ‘invited’19. συγκαλέομαι in the middle voice has a similar sense of ‘invite’20. and echoes the invitation of Cornelius to his friends and family to hear Peter (10:24 D05). ἐπεζήτησεν B P45.74 a rell ‖ καὶ (- Ds.m.) ἐζήτησεν D*, et quaesire voluit d. In B03, the prefix ἐπι- of the verb has a directive sense, ‘indicating the concentration of the verb’s action upon some subject’21. It has the effect B.M.

Person des Imperfekts gebildeten Eigennamen, den Begriff von hwV wiedergibt, was in Hebr. (wie auch syr. awV) “eben, glatt, würdig sein” bedeutet, im Piel “ebnen, zurechtmachen, fertigstellen”, so konnte hwVy-rb sehr wohl durch ἕτοιμοϛ wiedergegeben werden.’ See below. 18 W.
