This question should be directed to the TextualCriticism list (http:// 
groups.yahoo.com/group/textualcriticism/) for an answer. Our FAQ  
states clearly:

"--questions about Greek textual variants bearing on the  
interpretation of a
particular passage may be appropriate (but not general discussion of
textual criticism itself--for which there is a special list of its  
own; if
you are interested, you can find more information at

<http://rosetta.atla-certr.org/TC/TC-main.html#tc-list>)."

(and the TextualCriticism URL noted above should be substituted for  
the defunct TC list)
