2 Peter 1:1 Sumew,n {B}
The weight of external support for the two readings is almost equally divided (Sumew,n a A K P 049 056 0142 1739 syrph, h arm al; Si,mwn î72 B Y 81 614 ith, r vg syrpal copsa, bo eth al). The Committee was agreed that transcriptionally it is more likely that Si,mwn is a correction of Sumew,n than vice versa, since Sumew,n is used of Peter in only one other passage in the New Testament ( Acts 15:14).
