George Leo Haydock, on Jdt 7:2

George Leo Haydock · 1774–1849
Jdt 7:2 · Douay-Rheims
“Now there were in his troops a hundred and twenty thousand footmen, and two and twenty thousand horsemen, besides the preparations of those men who had been taken, and who had been brought away out of the provinces and cities of all the youth.”
On this verse:
“Twenty. Greek, seventy; Syriac, sixty-two. (Calmet) — Two, &c. Greek, twelve, as above, chap. ii. 7. (Menochius) — Syriac, twenty-two. Some of these texts must be inaccurate. (Calmet) — Yet the cavalry of Holofernes (Haydock) might be increased, since he began the war. — Taken. Syriac, “servants, and those who had joined them in great numbers.””
