John 4:11

John 4:11 auvtw|/ @h` gunh,# {C}

It is difficult to decide whether h` gunh, is a natural addition introduced by copyists in order to clarify the subject of le,gei (as evkei,nh was added in a*), or whether the absence of the words in two Alexandrian witnesses (î⁷⁵ B), joined by two versional witnesses (syr^s cop^ach2), is the result of a pruning of the text of unnecessary words. In order to reflect the balance of possibilities, the words were retained in the text but enclosed within square brackets.
