Revelation 14:18

Revelation 14:18 a;ggeloj @evxh/lqen# evk tou/ qusiasthri,ou {C}

On the one hand, it can be argued that evxh/lqen was inserted by scribes from ver. Revelation 14:17, sometimes after a;ggeloj (a C P 046 most minuscules it^h syr^{ph, h} cop^{sa, bo} arm al) and sometimes after qusiasthri,ou (051 1854 2073). On the other hand, repetition is characteristic of the author of the Apocalypse, and the absence of the verb in î⁴⁷ A 1611 2053 al may be due to either accidental omission or deliberate excision by scribes who considered it unnecessary in view of its presence in the preceding verse. Because of the balance of such considerations, a majority of the Committee preferred to follow a C 1006 al and to include the word in the text, but to enclose it within square brackets, thus reflecting considerable doubt that it belongs there.
