Notes: It may be of interest to note that in Greek NT manuscripts καθάπερ and καθώσπερ are often alternative forms. As in the case of ὥσπερ and ὡσπερεί (64.13: ὥσπερ / 64.13: ὡσπερεί) in contrast with ὡς[a] and ὡσεί[a] (64.12: ὡς / 64.12: ὡσεί), so καθάπερ and καθώσπερ appear to be somewhat more emphatic than καθά and καθώς[c] (64.14: καθά / 64.14: καθό / 64.14: καθώς).
