3 Ἴδε,*ιδε f35 [60%] RP,HF,OC,CP ¦ ει δε [38.5%] NU ¦ ιδου [0.5%] TR (ECM lists six uncials as ambiguous, including ℵA,B,C. The variant chosen by NU scarcely makes sense. The και at the beginning of verse 4 presupposes an imperative at the beginning of verse 3.) τῶν ἵππων τοὺς χαλινοὺς εἰς τὰ στόματα βάλλομεν πρὸς τὸ*προς το f35 A (97%) RP,HF,OC,TR,CP ¦ εις 2 ℵB,C (2.4%) NU ¦ τω (0.6%) πείθεσθαι αὐτοὺς ἡμῖν, καὶ ὅλον τὸ σῶμα αὐτῶν μετάγομεν. 4 Ἰδοὺ καὶ τὰ πλοῖα· τηλικαῦτα ὄντα καὶ ὑπὸ ἀνέμων σκληρῶν*ανεμων σκληρων f35 ℵB,C [44%] NU ¦ ∼ 21 A [56%] RP,HF,OC,TR,CP ἐλαυνόμενα, μετάγεται ὑπὸ ἐλαχίστου πηδαλίου ὅπου ἂν*αν f35 A,C [99.5%] RP,HF,OC,TR,CP ¦ --- ℵB [0.5%] NU ἡ ὁρμὴ τοῦ ἰθύνοντος*ιθυνοντος f35 [21%] ¦ ευθυνοντος ℵA,B,C [79%] RP,HF,OC,TR,CP,NU (At issue is a mere question of spelling, the first variant being classical Greek. It seems to me more probable that the unfamiliar classical form would be changed to the familiar koine than vice versa [most lexicons don’t even list the classical form].) βούληται.*βουληται f35 A,C [89%] RP,HF,OC,TR,CP ¦ βουλεται ℵB [10%] NU ¦ βουλοιτο [1%] 5 Οὕτως καὶ ἡ γλῶσσα μικρὸν μέλος ἐστὶν καὶ μεγαλαυχεῖ.*μεγαλαυχει f35 𝕻20ℵ [95%] RP,HF,OC,TR,CP ¦ μεγαλα αυχει A,B,C [5%] NU
