2 Corinthians

The purpose of this apparatus is to show all variation within Family 35, as identified by a complete
collation of the following twenty-seven representative MSS18, 35, 141, 201, 204, 386, 444, 824, 928,
986, 1072, 1075, 1249, 1548, 1637, 1725, 1740, 1855, 1864, 1865, 1892, 1897, 2352, 2466, 2554, 2587
and 2723. The first reading is that of the family and represents the vote of all the collated MSS (listed
above) that are not identified as having a variant. It goes without saying that the base text is that of the
family archetype, empirically determined. 2554 has no variants.
