Codex Gigas at Revelation 16:5

 Codex Gigas is considered an "Old Latin" edition.  It contains the following reading for Revelation 16:5:

Et audim angelum quarum dicente Justus es qui es et qui eras et sanctus. quia hec iudiasti 

After reading this, I realized how it was that Manetti's Latin has "fourth" instead of "of the water" and that is because of an "a" dropping off in the Latin.  Of course "fourth" and "of the water" are not at all visually similar in Greek.
