         Comments: In {S:04101102000018}, a literal translation of ‘withered away to the roots’ may be misunderstood, since the expression might suggest that the tree had withered only as far down as the roots but that the roots had not withered. The Greek text, however, indicates that the entire tree including the roots had withered and was completely dead.

         Comments: In a number of languages this passage in {S:05400601000002} must be structurally modified, for example, ‘because people love money, they do all those bad things.’
