Luke 16:12 u`me,teron {A}

The reading h`me,teron (B L al) has the appearance of being a later theological refinement (= “belonging to the Father and the Son”), expressing the divine origin of the true riches (ver. Luke 16:11) — as is also expressed by the Marcionite reading evmo,n. It is more likely, however, that, owing to the constant scribal confusion between u and h (in later Greek the two vowels came to be pronounced alike), copyists who wrote h`me,teron intended u`me,teron — for in the context the correct antithesis to “another’s” is “yours.”
