Scott,

When you read that EIPER KAI is witnessed in P46 B D F G 33 & 1175 pc, pc
meaning "a few", the remaining MSS have EI GE KAI. In that number you find
clearly the overwhelming majority of the minuscle MSS.
A second question would be if that majority of relatively young MSS can be
seen as an *important* witness. But that discussion is not for this list.
Perhaps my first sentence allready was too much about textual criticism.
