ἐκσπασθῇ] So A alone, other MSS. ἐκπέσῃς which may be a substitution,
to suit βάλανος in its usual meaning of ‘acorn.’ LXX. omits the last clause of the chapter; it is supplied from
Theodotion by 17 cursives, Lucianic and others, including 301. VII. I. According to Hebrew practice, βασιλέως Ἰούδα refers to
Ahaz, not to Uzziah: as the Greek shows later in the verse, cf. for
instance 2 Kings xviii. I. This Elah, and Remaliah, were not kings
of Israel. ῾Ραασσὼν (Ῥασεὶν Β). . .Φάκεε] Lxx. often present proper names
different forms from the Hebrew, and with wide variations among the
MSS. These differences are passed by without comment, unless required
for some special reason, e.g. where it seems probable that a different
name altogether from the Hebrew is intended. Ἀρὰμ] This name is generally transliterated in Isaiah; but not in
ix. 12, xvii. 3, where Συρία, Σύρος are used, as usually in the Lxx. In
Hebrew, Aram and Edom are closely alike in the consonantal text,

 
and liable to confusion, see, e.g., 2 Sam. viii. 12: but Aram and
Asshur are quite distinct, whereas Syria and Assyria were frequently
confused by the Greeks and Romans: thus a corrector of A has
Ασσυρων in xvii. 3. See Herod. VII. 63, Aesch. Persae, 84 (a possible
case), and Horace, Od. III. iv. 31,
 “Tentabo et urentes arenas Litoris Assyrii viator” 
which may recall the ship that “hath ’d upon the deserts of
Bohemia,” Shakesp. Winter's Tale, Act III. Sc. iii. Also Od. II. xi. 16
Virg. Georg. II. 465.
