I used the 21st edition edited by D.Erwin Nestle, son of D. Eberhard Nestle.
"Prof. D. K. Aland-Berlin" is mentioned in the German introduction only and
seems to have contributed mainly to the apparatus through new collations of
mss. I do not have subsequent editions with me at home. I have used also the
23 - 27. I think that in the 23rd and 24th or maybe just in the 25th that the
dagger is used to indicate any readings in the apparatus that was formerly in
the text of Nestle. The the Nestle text was constructed was to the take the
majority readings from the critical editions of the 19th century and print
those. So wherever two of the three major sources, Tischendorf, Westcott &
Hort, and B. Weiss (in the first three editions Weymouth r/t Weiss). I think
the daggers were to indicate differences between the Aland editions and the
older editions edited by the Nestles. So, if you can get one of the editions
with daggers, you will see in the notes the differences from the pre-Aland
editions.
