Revelation 13:6

Revelation 13:6 tou.j evn tw|/ ouvranw|/ skhnou/ntaj {B}

Among the several readings a majority of the Committee preferred tou.j … skhnou/ntaj on the grounds of its superior external support (it is read by (a*) A C (1006) 1611 2053^comm 2344 al) and its being the more difficult reading. The presence of kai, before tou,j (in a^c P 046* 051 most minuscules and early versions) appears to be due to copyists who wished to alleviate the strained syntax. In view of occasional omissions in î⁴⁷ the Committee regarded its reading evn tw|/ ouvranw|/ as a secondary modification, introduced probably because of the syntactical difficulty. The singular reading of syr^ph is probably due to the freedom of the translator.
