Both the Text and the apparatus are the responsibility of Wilbur N. Pickering, ThM PhD, . I venture to affirm to the reader that
all original wording of Hebrews is preserved in this edition; if not in the Text, at least in the apparatus. Diminish not a word
Jeremiah 26:2 (see Deut. 4:2 and Lk. 4:4, every word [as in 99.6% of the MSS]). The last note at the end of this book gives
explanation about the apparatus.

is adequately represented in English by h; but so far as I know, there is no way in Greek to indicate intervocalic aspiration

The citation of f is based on thirty-five MSS18, 35, 141, 201, 204, 328, 386, 394, 444, 604, 757, 824, 928, 959, 1072, 1075,
1100, 1248, 1249, 1503, 1548, 1637, 1725, 1732, 1761, 1768, 1855, 1864, 1865, 1892, 2080, 2466, 2554, 2587 and 2723all
35
of which I collated myself. 2554 is a perfect representative of f in Hebrews, as it stands, and the exemplars of 35, 1637, 2080
and 2723 may have been, while several others were off by only one variant. Since these MSS come from all over the
Mediterranean world (Sinai, Jerusalem, Patmos, Aegean, Constantinople, Bucharest, Trikala, Mt. Athos [six different
monasteries], Athens, Vatican, etc.) they are certainly representative of the family, giving us the precise family profileit is
reflected in the Text without exception.
I have included six published editions in the apparatusRP,HF,OC,TR,CP,NU. RP = Robinson-Pierpont (2005), HF =
Hodges-Farstad, OC = the Greek Text of the Greek Orthodox Church (also used by other Orthodox Churches), TR = Textus
26 3 27 4
Receptus, CP = Complutensian Polyglot, NU = N-A /UBS (N-A /UBS offer changes in the critical apparatus, not in the text;
26 3
the text is still that of N-A /UBS ).
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
27
covered there I had to revert to von Soden and the apparatus of N-A , 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
35
should rarely exceed 15%. However, I guarantee the witness of f .
th
As an arbitrary decision, I have limited the citation of individual MSS to those dated to the 5 century or earlier. I use rell to
indicate that the reading is supported by all other witnesses, and printed editions (of the six included in the apparatus),
compared to the other reading. The Greek font used is Bwgrkl and may be downloaded free from http://www.bibleworks.com.
