This is a question that can best be answered by looking closely at a copy 
of the NA26 or NA27. If you look at a printed edition of the NA26 or NA27, 
the apparatus tells you exactly which manuscripts support each variant 
reading. There is also a table that tells you the names of each of these 
manuscripts.
