Abstract Building on a plethora of conjectured emendations for IOϒΔAIAN, this article approaches the issue once again to test the viability of a quantitative tool and to establish the possibility of palaeographical confusion of IOϒΔAIAN with an alternative topo- or demonym. The article starts with an experiment using Greek topo- and demonyms derived from contemporary Christian, Jewish, and Classical sources to establish a palaeographical confusion score. Next the likeliness of the “closest” alternatives in the geographical arrangement of Acts 2:9–11 is explored. The article ends with an evaluation of the possible implications for the text in Acts 2:9 as well as a critical appraisal of the method for conjectural criticism.

使徒行传2：9中的ουδαίαν：逆向工程文本修订

摘要本文以IOϒΔAIAN的大量推测性修改为基础，再次探讨该问题，以测试定量工具的可行性，并建立IOϒΔAIAN的古惑物，并使用替代的上位词或反义词。本文从一个实验开始，该实验使用了来自当代基督教，犹太人和古典资源的希腊拓扑和魔音来建立古地理混淆评分。接下来，探讨使徒行传2：9-11的地理安排中“最接近”替代方案的可能性。本文最后评估了使徒行传2：9对文本可能产生的影响，并对批判性批评的方法进行了严格的评估。
