Split a/b

GC: The attestation of a consists only of three early A-related witnesses, plus a citation by Epiphanius, while the rest of the Greek manuscript tradition supports b. The strength of the small a attestation becomes clear, however, with IR=? and Con=1, because then 03 and 81 appear at the top of the b attestation.

TP: The climax of negative statements in v. 12 is emphasized if the final negative is introduced by οὐδέ.[1] This point may have been missed early in the transmission with the result that the series of negative statements introduced by οὔτε was continued mechanically.[2] There is a slightly stronger TP in favour of the more sophisticated οὐδέ, but it does not appear strong enough to outweigh the very consistent mainstream tradition, especially since the climactic οὐδέ may be a secondary stylistic improvement.
