It has however become usual in all grammars, glossaries, and editions of the Gothic text, to transcribe Greek υ in the function of a vowel by y. Inaccurate as this mode of transcription is, I have thought it advisable to adopt the usual transcription throughout this book. Examples are : — Τυχικο'ϊ, Tykeikus ; Ιεροσόλυμα, laírusaúlyma ; 'Yji^cotos, Ymaínalus ; Συμεών, Symaíðn.
