Of the other eight manuscripts three ‘omit it (WKS), the rest (AGHFO) have évepriig. In effect we have a situation where the manuscripts are two to one in favour of the correct reading (on GHF, see note 10). They are supported by the Latin version, which reads “echeneis piscis est efficacissimus” (186. 13: obtos tovasienv gvourity dovoutv Eyer is not translated; there is a corresponding omission in AGHFIO).
