Acts 13:19

Acts 13:19 kai. kaqelw,n

The initial kai, is absent from B 81 cop^sa; it is present in î⁷⁴ a A C D E H L P and almost all minuscules. Despite Ropes’s argument for taking (as Westcott and Hort did) the preceding w`j as “when,” the Committee regarded it as less cumbersome syntax and more in the style of Luke when numerals are involved to understand w`j as “about,” and therefore was disposed to explain the absence of kai, as haplography due to the following kaqelw,n.
