From these examples, the number of which can easily be increased, it appears that the codices I have examined fall into two classes, to one of which BCLU are to be assigned, and to the other, much worse one, D and P, about which I will argue a little later.
Although the codices in question are dissimilar in reliability and authority, they all seem to have flowed from one and the same source. For all of them are infected with the same error in quite a few places, for example p. 12, 24 and 17, 14; 15, 13; 27, 3; 47, 1; 88, 24; 89, 3; 124, 12, 13, 16; 128, 24; 433, 27; 493, 8.
