Textual Variants

3:10: εις becomes προς.
3:11: omits οπισω μου.
3:11: βαστασαι is changed to λυσαι. The missing space on the line above could also include κυφας, therefore almost conforming the text to the same as Mark 1:7.
3:16: ωσαι becomes ως.
3:16: και is omitted from after περιστεραν.
3:17: ευδοκησα becomes ηυδοκησα, a variant spelling.
4:2: ημερας τεσσερακοντα και νυκτας τεσσερακοντα becomes μ ημερας και μ νυκτας.
