in Judges viii, 14Published online by Cambridge University Press: 15 March 2011
The correct interpretation of 
has presented a problem so far not satisfactorily solved. Acting on the a priori assumption that in the time of Gideon writing could hardly have been so generally diffused that a mere lad caught casually would write down the names of the chiefs of Sukkoth, the Revised Version renders, somewhat disingenuously, “and he [the lad] described for him [Gideon] the princes of Sukkoth, etc.” Realizing, however, that such a translation was quite indefensible lexicographically, it safeguarded itself by adding in the margin, “Or, wrote down.”
