2 Peter 2:6 @katastrofh|/# kate,krinen {C}

It is difficult to decide whether katastrofh|/, read by a A C² K Y 049 056 0142 33 81 614 al, was added by scribes, or whether it was original and accidentally fell out of the text of î^{72 txt} B C* 945 1241 1243 1739 1881 al. Since the shorter reading might well have arisen by transcriptional oversight (note the sequence katastrofh|/ kate,krinen), and since, if the word had been added by copyists, one would expect to find it (or a synonym) at various places in various witnesses, the Committee thought it best to include katastrofh|/ in the text, but to enclose it within square brackets in order to reflect the weight of several important witnesses that lack the word (î^{72 txt} B C* 1739).
