6 The citation of f is based on thirty-seven MSS,, 0, 0,,,,, 0,,,,, 0, 0, 00,,, 0,,,,,,,,,,,,, 00,,,, and all of which I collated myself., 0,, and are perfect representatives of f in, as they stand, as were the exemplars of another ten. The uniformity is impressive. Since these MSS come from all over the Mediterranean world (Sinai, Jerusalem, Patmos, Constantinople, Aegean, Trikala, Meteora, Athens, Mt. Athos [seven different monasteries], Bucharest, Vatican, etc.) they are certainly representative of the family, giving us the precise family profile it is reflected in the Text without exception. I have included six published editions in the apparatus RP,HF,OC,TR,CP,NU. RP = Robinson-Pierpont (00), HF = Hodges-Farstad, OC = the Greek Text of the Greek Orthodox Church (also used by other Orthodox Churches), TR = Textus Receptus, CP = Complutensian Polyglot, NU = N-A /UBS (N-A /UBS offer changes in the critical apparatus, not in the text; the text is still that of N-A /UBS ). In the statements of evidence I have included the percentage of manuscript attestation for each variant, within either ( ) or [ ]. I have used ( ) for the evidence taken from TuT, which I take to be reasonably precise. For the variant sets that are not covered there I had to revert to von Soden and the apparatus of N-A, supplementing from other sources where possible (Scrivener and Tischendorf) the percentages offered, I have used [ ] for these, are extrapolations based on a comparison of these sources. I venture to predict, if complete collations ever become available, that for any non-byzantine variants listed with to % support (in my apparatus) the margin of error should not exceed ± %; for non-byzantine variants listed with 0 to % support the margin of error should hardly exceed ± %; where there is some division among the Byzantine witnesses the margin of error should rarely exceed ± %. As an arbitrary decision, I have limited the citation of individual MSS to those dated to the th century or earlier. I use rell to indicate that the reading is supported by all other witnesses, and printed editions (of the six included in the apparatus), compared to the other reading. The Greek font used is Bwgrkl and may be downloaded free from
