At Eph 5:14, the text has the reading επιφαυσεις του χυ, while the commentary says, ενια δε των αντιγραφων επιφαυσει σοι ο χς εχει ("but some of the copies have επιφαυσει σοι ο χς"). In other manuscripts with Theodoret's commentary, the text is conformed to the common reading, but Theodoret's comment is left unchanged.<br /><br />Perhaps more importantly, the first hand of GA 06 (another one I transcribed for the same project) preserves the reading επιψαυσεις του χυ, although a later hand using darker ink filled out the psi to look like a phi. It's a shame the NA28 apparatus doesn't mention it.Joey McCollumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17352192479713307345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6346409181794331060.post-84500763046510377962019-03-13T18:36:17.645-04:002019-03-13T18:36:17.645-04:00"The apologist Epiphanius of Salamis, in the ..."The apologist Epiphanius of Salamis, in the late 300s, mentioned that the wise men opened their “wallets” (πήρας), and noted that some manuscripts – like all Greek manuscripts extant today – referred instead to their “treasures” (θησαυροὺς). No known manuscript today has the reading πήρας." <br />So when Dan Wallace says that in the early centuries, the Majority Text wasn't Byzantine, he may as well also admit that it wasn't what's above OR below the line on the page of his GNT either.
