Galatians 2:9 VIa,kwboj kai. Khfa/j kai. VIwa,nnhj

Several witnesses, chiefly Western, replace the Aramaic name Khfa/j with the more familiar Greek name Pe,troj (î46 D F G itd, g, r goth Marcion Origenlat Marius Victorinus Ephraem Ambrosiaster Jerome); all but two of the same witnesses (not î46 itr) give more prominence to Peter by placing his name first in the series, thus also bringing together the familiar pair of names, James and John (this James, however, is not the son of Zebedee and the brother of John, who had been killed by Herod [ Acts 12:2], but the brother of Jesus and leader of the Church at Jerusalem [ Galatians 1:19; Acts 15:13]). (See also the comment on 1.18.)
