N 14.11 (Mas + Mid)	Later a proper reading for 9^th Ab. 9^th Ab HH (B. Meg. 31b): Jer 8.13 & Jer 14.19-22 (Sopherim xviii,3). Talmud: Jer 8 as H to other 9^th Ab reading, Dt 4.25, but both //s to N 14.11 TS. Midrash Siphre (§ 85) suggests 3 passages as // TS (Jer 13.10, 14.10; Mic 6.3 - all suitable). BMR too discursive to use in detecting H. Cave LS&SG, 111: concludes Jer 8.13 belongs to Dt 4.25 & Jer 14.10 ff. or 13.10 ff. formed H to TS 14.1.
