I hereby resubmit the second of the questions concerned with distinctive
readings of Codex Bezae in the text of Luke's gospel.

The "critical text" of Lk 1:4 reads PERI hWN KATHCHQHS LOGWN, where hWN is
an instance of the common Greek usage of making a generalized antecedent
implicit in the relative plural: "concerning (the matters) about which you
have been instructed. Codex Bezae (D05) reads PERI TWN KATHCHQHS LOGWN.

If D05's TWN is NOT supposed to be the result of a scribal error, then how
might the article TWN be understood grammatically?
