In my UBS 3rd edition, based on Nestle-Aland 26th edition, there is no
mention of the MOU variation, but when I checked my copy of NA26, it says
only Vaticanus has MOU TO ONOMA. NA 24th edition doesn't mention it.
Metzger, in _A Textual Commentary on the Greek New Testament,_ doesn't
mention this variation in Vaticanus. I also checked the several Greek texts
I have in Logos, but no indication of MOU in any of those. The main issue in
that passage is whether it is ONOMA or UION. If there was confusion over
"glorify thy name" or "glorify thy son", the confusion about MOU would seem
to me to indicate a copyist's error (Jesus wouldn't have said "Glorify my
son"), but I don't have access to a print of the actual text of Vaticanus to
confirm that. Metzger mentions the similar phrase in John 17:1 (with
"son/your son") as a possible comparison.
