Revelation 15:6

Revelation 15:6 li,non {B}

Although the reading li,qon is strongly attested (A C 2053 vg al) and was widely circulated at an early date, in the opinion of the Committee it is a transcriptional error that, despite a superficial parallel with Ezekiel 28:13, makes no sense; it is particularly inapposite with the adjective kaqaro,n, which, on the contrary, is altogether appropriate with li,non (P 051 1 1006 1611 1859 2081 it^{gig, h, ar} syr^{ph, h} arm al). The reading linou/n (î⁴⁷ 046 94 1828; cf. linouj [sic], a), though a secondary improvement (“made of linen”) for a rare use of li,non, indirectly strengthens the external support for the latter. The omission of the noun (cop^sa eth Cassiodorus) is probably due to translational freedom.
