1 Peter 1:8

1 Peter 1:8 ivdo,ntej {A}

The reading ivdo,ntej, which is supported by good witnesses of both the Alexandrian and the Western types of text (î⁷² a B C 1739 it^r vg cop^sa), is more appropriate in the context than eivdo,tej (A K P Y 33 81 614 al), which seems to have arisen either accidentally (ei and i being confused through itacism, coupled with the failure of copyists to observe the stroke [representing n] over the o), or deliberately (in order to avoid what on the surface seemed to be a pleonasm with mh. o`rw/ntej).
