Beyond 1Cor 10:9 KURION is the object of (EK)PEIRAZEIN in the
following (including TO PNEUMA KURIOU)
MATT. 4:7 EFH AUTWi hO IHSOUS: PALIN GEGRAPTAI: OUK EKPEIRASEIS KURION
TON QEON SOU.
LUKE 4:12 KAI APOKRIQEIS EIPEN AUTWi hO IHSOUS hOTI EIRHTAI: OUK
EKPEIRASEIS KURION TON QEON SOU.
ACTS 5:9 hO DE PETROS PROS AUTHN: TI hOTI SUNEFWNHQH hUMIN PEIRASAI TO
PNEUMA KURIOU IDOU hOI PODES TWN QAYANTWN TON ANDRA SOU EPI THi QURAi
KAI EXOISOUSIN SE.
Nowhere is CRISTON the object.
IHSOUN is the object numerous times, but only by his personal enemies.
I can't recall seeing a passage where the disciples are warned not to
(EK)PEIRAZEIN IHSOUN.

I think "deliberately ambiguous" is an attractive reading.

Yes, the attempt to clarify by a scribe can be argued both for and
against TON CRISTON.
Thanks again,
