Revelation 13:17

Revelation 13:17 kai, {A}

The absence of kai, in a* C about 25 minuscules (including 1611) syr^{ph, h} cop^{sa, bo} al appears to be a secondary modification arising from misunderstanding the relationship between verses Revelation 13:16 and Revelation 13:17. When the i[na mh, clause was taken to be dependent upon dw/sin, kai, was naturally regarded as superfluous, whereas the clause is no doubt to be taken as dependent upon poiei/ and therefore coordinate with the i[na dw/sin clause. The text is supported by î⁴⁷ a^c A^vid P 046 051 1006 1854 2344 it^{gig, ar} vg arm eth al.
