Since these MSS come from all over the Mediterranean world (Sinai, Jerusalem, Patmos, Constantinople, Bucharest, Aegean, Trikala, Athens, Mt. Athos [seven different
monasteries], Grottaferrata, Vatican, etc.) they are certainly representative of the family, giving us the precise family profile it is reflected in the Text without exception. 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 ± %. But I guarantee the witness of Family. Please see the last footnote for Matthew for further information.
