There are five fragments that are attributed by ancient writers to Ezekiel but which do not occur in the canonical book of Ezekiel. 1 Since one of these fragments is explicitly said to derive from an apocryphon of Ezekiel (Epiphanius, Pan. 64.70. 5), 2 it is a plausible hypothesis that all five derive from this same work, especially since the Stichometry of Nicephorus also attests the existence of a pseudepigraphal work attributed to Ezekiel. In the interests of not multiplying hypothetical works unnecessarily, we should probably assume that all derive from the same lost apocryphon unless there is good reason to think otherwise. Whether this was also the second book of Ezekiel to which Josephus referred (Ant. 10.79) and whether it was the same work as the apocryphal Ezekiel of which fragments in Hebrew survive among the Dead Sea Scrolls (4QPseudo-Ezekiel) we need not discuss in the present context. The fragment which is now generally known as Fragment 33 reads (in what is probably the most original version):“The heifer has given birth and has not given birth”(ἡ δάμαλις τέτοκεν καὶ οὐ τέτοκεν). 4 It is quoted in five Christian works: Acts of Peter 24, Tertullian, De Carne Christi 23, Clement of Alexandria,
