I follow H-F in using Ma-e. Mf-i are my invention—Mf was included by Hodges in his Ma and he ignored Mg-i (H-F is also based on Hoskier). For the composition of the M families see the Appendix. Many minor variants have not been included in the apparatus, which is why the fractions for a family do not always add up to 100%. Where a fraction is ¼ or less I show the family without fraction for the other variant. The citation of f35 is based on the 32 MSS that Hoskier assigned to Mc (his "Complutensian") [but he did not cite 243, and 231 is a mere fragment containing only the first two verses, but has the diagnostic reading at the end of verse 2]. To these the following ten MSS should be added: 1064, 1903 [his 243], 2201, 2323, 2431, 2434, 2554, 2656, 2669 and 2723. After determining that they belonged to the family, by checking a list of diagnostic readings, I then checked them individually at the ±110 places where three or more family members share a variant. At the 40 or so places where the dissent involved seven or more MSS I re-checked most of the MSS done by Hoskier [I had to make a number of corrections, but nothing serious]. I have taken account of every extant MS that belongs to Family 35, so far as I know. Please see the last footnote for Matthew for further information.

Ἀμήν.*35 ℵC [98%] RP,HF,OC,TR,CP ¦ --- (𝕻87)A,048v [2%] NU,*35 is based on thirty-six MSS—18, 35, 201, 204, 328, 386, 394, 444, 604, 757, 824, 928, 959, 986, 1072, 1075, 1100, 1247, 1249, 1503, 1548, 1637, 1725, 1732, 1761, 1768, 1855, 1864, 1865, 1876, 1892, 2080, 2466, 2554, 2587 and 2723—all of which I collated myself. All except 328, 394, 959, 986, 1892 and 2080 are ‘perfect’ representatives of f35 in Philemon, as they stand, the others having a single variant each. The uniformity is impressive. Since these MSS come from all over the Mediterranean world (Sinai, Jerusalem, Patmos, Constantinople, Bucharest, Aegean, Trikala, Athens, Mt. Athos [seven different monasteries], Grottaferrata, Vatican, etc.) they are certainly representative of the family, giving us the precise family profile—it is reflected in the Text without exception.In the statements of evidence I have included the percentage of manuscript attestation for each variant, within either ( ) or [ ]. I have used ( ) for the evidence taken from TuT, which I take to be reasonably precise. For the variant sets that are not covered there I had to revert to von Soden and the apparatus of N-A27, supplementing from other sources where possible (Scrivener and Tischendorf)—the percentages offered, I have used [ ] for these, are extrapolations based on a comparison of these sources.I venture to predict, if complete collations ever become available, that for any non-Byzantine variants listed with 5 to 1% support (in my apparatus) the margin of error should not exceed ±1%; for non-Byzantine variants listed with 10 to 6% support the margin of error should hardly exceed ±3%; where there is some division among the Byzantine witnesses the margin of error should rarely exceed ±15%. However, I guarantee the witness of Family 35. Please see the last footnote for Matthew for further information.
