Thanks, Jerker.  This matter is discussed in in BDF § 294.  I've noticed
it in my study of variant readings in John 4.  For example, at John 4:5,
the critical text, along with P75 01 B Byz TR etc., reads TOU XWRIOU _hO_
EDWKEN IAKWB [TWi] IWSHF, while other ancient witnesses, including P66 D
Theta fam.1 565, read TOU XWRIOU _hOU_ EDWKEN IAKWB etc.
