Is it not clear that a reading attested by only BP and four cursive copies must stand self-condemned?
Another excellent specimen of this class of error is furnished by Heb.
vii.1.Instead of [Greek: Ho synantesas Abraam]--said of Melchizedek,--[Symbol: Aleph]ABD exhibit [Greek: OS].

The whole body of the copies, headed by CLP, are against them[88],--besides Chrysostom[89], Theodoret[90], Damascene[91].

It is needless to do more than state how this reading arose.

The initial letter of [Greek: synantesas] has been reduplicated through careless transcription: [Greek: OSSYN]--instead of [Greek: OSYN]--.

That is all.
