Apples and Figs. One Discrepancy in the Life of St. Onnophrius the Great
The article is devoted to one variant reading in the Life of St. Onnophrius the Great. In one episode of the Life the author is describing an oasis, reminding the paradise. He lists plants that grow there. Coptic and Greek-Slavonic versions of the Life have one discrepancy: in the Coptic version fgs and apples are indicated, in the Greek-Slavonic one instead of the fgs a mulberry is designated and the apples are lacking. In the article the author made an attempt to explain this discrepancy.
