Acts 16:6

Acts 16:6 th.n Frugi,an kai. Galatikh.n cw,ran

The Textus Receptus, following E H L P and most minuscules, reads th.n Frugi,an kai. th.n Galatikh.n cw,ran. Although Kirsopp Lake, in discussing the textual evidence of this passage, overstated the case (“A reading found in the later MSS., but in neither the Neutral nor the Western text, has no claim to be considered”), ³¹² the Committee gave careful consideration to the later text, only to decide that there was no reason to abandon the combined testimony of î⁷⁴ a A B C D al, despite the fact that, as Bruce points out, “there is no direct evidence elsewhere for the adjectival use of Frugi,a.” ³¹³
