(81 has ἠκολούθει and al1 μεθ' ἡμῶν in the first clause and al2 μεθ' ἡμῶν in the third: 33 is defective.)
Part of the confusion of readings is due to obvious causes, which throw little light on genealogy. From Luke ix 49 come ἀκολουθεῖ and μεθ' ἡμῶν; while in both Gospels a general proneness to alter imperfects and the influence of the preceding aorist have together produced ἐκωλύσαμεν. But in β, besides assimilation to St Luke, there is a bold transposition of the last clause bringing it into proximity to its subject, with a necessary change of ὅτι to ὅς (cf. Matt. ν 45 in similar documents); while in two modifications of β the aorist ἐκωλύσαμεν reappears, and one of them, β2, the most widely spread, has also ἡμῖν in conformity with α. The transposed clause is preserved in both places by δ with exact similarity of ending. Here again δ is supported by Ν as well as A, but not by any early version.

A reminiscence of Lev. vii 13 (και πᾶν δῶρον θυσίας ὑμῶν ἁλὶ ἁλισθήσεται) has created β out of α, ⲡⲩⲣⲓⲁⲗⲓⲥⲑ being read as ⲑⲩⲥⲓⲁⲁⲗⲓⲁⲗⲓⲥⲑ with a natural reduplication, lost again in some Latin copies. The change would be aided by the words that follow here, καλὸν τὸ ἅλας κ.τ.λ. In δ the two incongruous alternatives are simply added together, γάρ being replaced by καί. Besides ACNX, δ has at least
