[Symbol: Aleph], [Greek: TO EN SABBATO] [Greek: DEUTEROPROTO] in order to see that the like ending ([Greek: TO]) in the superior line, fully accounts for the omission of the second line.

(_c_) Words which the copyists were at a loss to understand, are often observed to be dropped: and there is no harder word in the Gospels than [Greek: deuteroprotos].

But I repeat,--will you tell us how it is conceivable that [a word nowhere else found, and known to be a _crux_ to commentators and others, should have crept into all the copies except a small handful ?] In reply to all this, I shall of course be told that really I must yield to what is after all the weight of external evidence: that Codd.
[Symbol: Aleph]BL are not ordinary MSS.
