Mark 1:4 in D Θ 28

Matt. 10:3 in N022

In the NA28 apparatus at Matt. 10:3, N is cited as omitting ο within the longer reading. N does have the longer reading, but ο is there as well. It is smaller and at the end of the 4th line in the second column on St. Petersburg f. 22v.

Matt. 5:44 (mae)

At Matt. 5:44, mae is cited both for the longer addition (ευλογειτε ... μισουσιν υμας) and for the text.

Matt. 20:7 in N (and Σ)

Concerning the addition of (μου) και ο εαν (η) δικαιον λη(μ)ψεσθε in Matt. 20:7: The NA28 apparatus lists C^3 N 565 1241 f h as having μου at the beginning of the larger addition. However, I noticed this morning that N does not have μου there. Interestingly, Σ, a sibling of N from the same exemplar, does have μου. I know Σ is not one of the consistently cited witnesses in Matthew, and I am inclined to think that the addition in Σ was the work of the scribe of Σ, harmonizing to αμπελωνα μου in v. 4 (that is to say, I am not inclined to think the scribe of N omitted a μου that was present in their exemplar). Regardless of whether the scribe of N or the scribe of Σ made the change, N does not have μου in v. 7. The text in question is on f. 2r of the Vatican leaves, the 12th line down in the left column. Cronin (Texts and Studies v) also reports N as lacking μου, noting that Σ has it (p. 21 in the transcription).

Thank you much,

Elijah

Matt. 10:23 in N

2015-10-12T13:00:58Z

At Matt. 10:23, (specifically, the variants of αν) N is listed in the apparatus as supporting the NA text. Perhaps it should be listed in the apparatus as (N), and a note added to the appendix: εαν N. The ε is difficult to see and is the last letter of the last line before a column break, with αν continuing at the top of the following column on the same page.

Thanks,

Elijah

Mark 1:4 in D Θ 28

It seems that the parentheses around D Θ 28 in Mark 1:4 are mistaken. The appendix gives their text as "3-6 2" (what would be εν τη ερημω και βαπτιζων), but based on the images, all three mss have the same reading as the other witnesses at that variant (3-5 2 6; εν τη ερημω βαπτιζων και).

Thanks,

Elijah
