The note on the book of Job, that has been transmitted by part of the manuscript tradition of the Synopsis Sripturae Sacrae (CPG 4559), falsely attributed to John Chrysostom, is an interpolation because the biblical text underlying the summary is not compatible with the Antiochian provenance of the text.The note however is a composite with certain short passages arising from an Antiochian milieu. It is impossible to know if an authentic note on Job ever existed, before disappearing due to a lacuna that might have mutilated the firstbranch of the tradition.
