Split a/b
GC: The attestations of both a and b have about equally broad A-related cores. The Byzantine tradition is split. With Con=5 the Byzantine strand is related to the core of A-related witnesses in the coherent b attestation, but not in the a attestation, which also features several minor incoherencies.
TP: There are several examples in the NT of a masculine participle with πνεῦμα.[1] It is surprising, however, that GC suggests a scribal inclination to favor the more uncommon construction. The incoherencies in the a attestation oppose a decision for the slightly harder constructio ad sensum.
