Abstract

The quotation from the vision of the dried bones (Ez 37) in Epiphanius of Salamina, Ancoratus 99,5, bears some features of the canonical text but also several characteristic features of the Pseudo-Ezekiel from Qumrân. It seems that Epiphanius has a knowledge of the Pseudo-Ezekiel text beside the canonical and, quoting from his memory, gives a mixture of the two. This reinforces the possibility that a Greek version of Pseudo-Ezekiel existed, and that it was one and the same with the Apocryphon of Ezekiel which the same Epiphanius mentions a few chapters before. The Greek version probably mentioned five elements of the reconstituted bodies : sinews, veins, flesh, skin and hair. It is possible that Gregory of Nyssa also knew this Greek Pseudo-Ezekiel.
