Split a/c 

GC: There is a coherent majority attestation with a broad A-related basis for a; there are few, but early A-related witnesses for c. With IR=“?”/Con=5, witness 81 is at the top of the a attestation with 03 (c) as its first potential ancestor, while the c attestation shows a coherent core of five A-related witnesses accompanied by five other witnesses more closely related to ancestors supporting a.

TP: Variant a may be seen as a phraseologically motivated extension, and c as an accidental or stylistically motivated omission of a redundant word, especially since it immediately follows a similar expression (τ γένος μν).[1] A first or second person possessive pronoun regularly determines πατέρες in similar contexts in Acts, but there is one reliably attested exception to this rule in 13:32. On the other hand, 03, the most prominent witness of c, is known for a tendency to omit redundant words.
