John 17:7 e;gnwkan

Although there is impressive support for the first person singular (e;gnwn, a ita, b, c, e, ff2, q syrs, p, hmg, pal copsa, ach goth pers; e;gnwka, W 7 118 138* 579 1188 2145* ù32, 36, 44, 60), a majority of the Committee regarded it either as a mistaken correction of a copyist influenced by the first person in ver. John 17:6, or (in the case of e;gnwka) as an accidental error in transcription (loss of horizontal line over a, representing final n). The reading e;gnwkan (A B C D L U Q al) accords with the Johannine use of the perfect tense; the aorist e;gnwsan (C U X Y ¦13 33 al) appears to be a scribal assimilation to ver. John 17:8.
