1 THE GENERAL EPISTLES f variants Wilbur N. Pickering, ThM PhD The purpose of this apparatus is to show all variation within Family, as identified by a complete collation of the following thirty-nine representative MSS,,,, 0, 0,,,,, 0,,,,,, 0,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, 0 (only in James),,, and. The first reading is that of the family and represents the vote of all the collated MSS (listed above) that are not identified as having a variant. For example, the most serious split in James, at :, has thirteen MSS with the variant, and one illegible; since were collated, that leaves the other twenty-five with the main reading.

(However, its statistics are included in the paper, Adjudicating Family Splits.) Since it has all the distinctive family readings, it is clearly f, so I have collated 0 MSS, just under half of the total extant ( family representatives for these books). dwdeka dwdwka pasan --- peirasmoij peirasmeij to --- ouk mh (.%) kludwni kludoni 0 lhyetai leyetai tou --- [%] autou outoj autou --- anhr ano/j apokuei kuei,
