24 Ἡ χάρις τοῦ Κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ μετὰ πάντων ἡμῶν.*35 [18%] ¦ υμων [82%] OC,RP,HF,TR,CP,NU (If verse 24 was not dictated by Paul, the first person is especially appropriate, coming from Tertius.) Ἀμήν.*35 (96.8%) OC,RP,HF,TR,CP ¦ --- 𝕻46ℵA,B,C (3.2%) NU,*ℵA,B,C (3.2%) NU omit verse 24),*35 is based on the following thirty-seven MSS—18, 35, 141, 201, 204, 386, 394, 757, 824, 928, 986, 1040, 1072, 1075, 1100, 1249, 1482, 1503, 1548, 1637, 1652, 1704, 1725, 1732, 1761, 1855, 1856, 1858, 1864, 1865, 1876, 1892, 1897, 2466, 2554, 2587 and 2723—all of which I collated myself. Only 2723 is a ‘perfect’ representative of f35 in Romans, as it stands, while 1482 and 2554 have only alternate spellings, that are not proper variants. The uniformity is impressive. Since these MSS come from all over the Mediterranean world (Sinai, Jerusalem, Patmos, Constantinople, Bucharest, Aegean, Trikala, Athens, Mt. Athos [ten 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 used Reuben Swanson’s excellent collations (New Testament Greek Manuscripts: Romans [Ed. Reuben Swanson, Wheaton: Tyndale House Publishers, 2001]). For Romans Swanson collated 81 MSS, three being fragmentary (for any given variant set there will usually be at least 75 MSS listed), and I occasionally supplemented from Scrivener and von Soden—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 ±2%; where there is some division among the Byzantine witnesses the margin of error should rarely exceed ±10%—by comparing Swanson with TuT, I believe one can make a fairly accurate extrapolation. However, I guarantee the witness of f35. Please see the last footnote for Matthew for further information.
