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

Lk 1:6 HSAN DE DIKAIOI AMFWTEROI ENANTION TOU QEOU (NA27/USB4); Codex Bezae
(D05) has ENWPION TOU QEOU instead of ENANTION TOU Q(EO)U.

In this passage do ENANTION and ENWPION with the genitive have
significantly different nuances of meaning? Note too that in 1:8 the
corresponding notion is expressed by ENANTI TOU QEOU (in both NA27/USB4 and
in Codex Bezae): does the presence of the deictic iota there intensify the
expression or not? (1:8 EGENETO DE EN TWi hIERATEUEIN AUTON ... ENANTI TOU
QEOU ...)
