(עַטּוּר סוֹפְרַים, ablatio scribarum) denotes the removal of a superfluous which had crept into the text. The Masorites have noticed five instances of such a superfluous 1, which has erroneously been prefixed to אחר in Genesis 18:5; Genesis 24:55; Numbers 31:2; Psalms 68:26, and to the word משפטי in Psalms 36:7. See Nedarim, fol. 37, Colossians 2; Ochlah ve Ochlah, sect. 217, page 128; Lenz, Dissertatio de Notis Masorethicis, Piska, Tikkun Sopherim et Ittur Sopherim (Wittenberg, 1702); Werchau, De Ablatione Scribarum (Leipsic, 1715; reprinted in Hasoeus and Ikenius's Thesaurus, 1:19-26); Tragard, De Ablationibus et Ordinationibus Scribarum in Masora Notatio (Greifswalde, 1763); Geiger, Urschrift und Uebersetzungen der Bibel (Breslau, 1857), pages 251-254; Strack, Prolegomena Critica (Leipsic, 1873), page 86. (B.P.)
