Thanks for your comments!
This is exactly the problem I have. Why should anybody change the txt
reading or the Byz reading into the awkward P66 et al. reading? The
support is very strong: P66, P75, C*, L, Wsup, Psi, 083, 33, 579, pc, WH
have it in their margin! Why have so many good witnesses such a peculiar
text?
One could argue that this is certainly the harder reading and that it
has been changed in various ways.
Best wishes
Wieland
