John 6:1

John 6:1 th/j Galilai,aj {A}

The clumsiness of the two successive genitives, both identifying the same sea, prompted some copyists to omit th/j Galilai,aj (0210 1242* 1344 2174 ù¹⁸⁴), and others to add after Galilai,aj either kai, (V goth) or eivj ta. me,rh (D Q 892 1009 1230 1253 it^{b, d, e, r1} geo). The meaning of the last, which is the smoothest reading, is “across the sea of Galilee to the regions of Tiberias.” If this reading were original, it would be difficult to account for the rise of the others.
