instead.  Could someone tell me which GNT uses this (KOILIA) variant, and
why the UBS has chosen not to (I don't have access to a Metzgers Text. Comm

I presume you are asking for the manuscripts which support each reading???

In any event:
xortasqhnai - p75, Sinaiticus, B, D, L, R, f1,13, 1241...
koilian- A Theta, Psi, the majority of Byzantine texts...

As you can see, xortasqhnai is attested by "superior" texts.  I think the
editors rightly choose here.

Best,

Jim
