It signifies glory. For one evangelist says: 'Peace to the son of David.'¹ And another: 'Glory to the son of David.'² Therefore hosanna signifies glory.
But³ according to some [it means] 'Save now'.⁴ Not rightly.

Greek original · Adler’s text

Ὡσαννά· δόξα σημαίνει. καὶ γὰρ ἄλλος εὐαγγελιστὴς λέγει· εἰρήνη τῷ υἱῷ Δαβίδ. καὶ ὁ ἕτερος· δόξα τῷ υἱῷ Δαβίδ. ὥστε τὸ ὡσαννὰ τὸ δόξα σημαίνει. παρά τισι δὲ σῶσον δή. οὐκ ὀρθῶς.

3This addendum is lacking, Adler reports, in mss AF. ↩
4Psalms 117:25 LXX. The Hebrew is הושיעה נא hoshi`a na, which means "please save". In the Hebrew liturgy, it sometimes appears as הושע נא hosha` na, again meaning "please save". This term is never used to mean "glory" in the Hebrew Bible. ↩
