ἔχων. Text. Rec[346] reads εἶχεν with 1 Latins cop[347] arm[348]

[346] Rec. Textus Receptus as printed by Scrivener.

[347] Coptic.
[348] Armenian.

2. ἔχων. Rightly paraphrased by versions as a predicate rather than an epithet.

βιβλαρίδιον ἠνεῳγμένον. The diminutive perhaps suggests comparison (but hardly contrast, which is sufficiently marked by the epithet) with the book of Revelation 5:1 sqq.
