Since these MSS come from all over the Mediterranean world (Sinai, Jerusalem, Patmos,
Constantinople, Aegean, Trikala, Athens, Mt. Athos [seven different monasteries], 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 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 %. But I guarantee the witness of Family. 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.
