Revelation 19:13

Revelation 19:13 bebamme,non {B}

Among the many variant readings bebamme,non appears to be both the best supported (A 046 051 most minuscules cop^sa arm al) and most likely to provoke change. Either the absence of evn with the following ai[mati or, more probably, the feeling that the context (and perhaps also the recollection of Isaiah 63:3) made ba,ptw less appropriate to express the sense than r`ai,nw or its collateral r`anti,zw, prompted copyists to substitute evrrantisme,non (172 256 792 1006 1341 1778 1862 2017 2018 2040 2065 2070 Origen), or r`erantisme,non (P 2019 2321 2329 Origen), or evrramme,non (2053 2062 Origen), or r`eramme,non (105 1611 Origen), or, in order to heighten the description, perireramme,non (a* Irenaeus), later corrected to perirerantisme,non (a^c). (The versional and non-Greek patristic evidence often cited for the several forms of r`ai,nw and r`anti,zw tends to be ambiguous.)
