Acts 13:38 dia. tou,tou

The reading dia. tou,tou (“through this man,” a A B3 C D L P many minuscules) is more appropriate in the context (compare evn tou,tw|, ver. Acts 13:39) than dia. tou/to (“for this reason,” î74 B* 61 326 436 1175 1838 al). The latter reading may have arisen accidentally when U fell out by haplography. The reading dia. auvtou/ (E 218 425 611 642 808 al) softens what could be taken as a slightly disrespectful tone in tou,tou (“this fellow”). The reading dia. tou/ton (919) is an orthographic variant.
