Revelation 8:13 avetou/

Instead of avetou/ (which is decisively supported by a A 046 most minuscules itgig, h vg syrph, h copsa, bo eth) the Textus Receptus, following P 1 680 2059 2060 2081 2186 2286 2302 arm al, reads avgge,lou. The substitution may have been accidental (a scribe misread aetou as aggelou), but more likely it was deliberate, since the function ascribed to the eagle seems more appropriate to an angel (cf. Revelation 14:6). Furthermore, “had the Apocalyptist written avgge,lou, a;llou would probably have taken the place of e`no,j; cf. Revelation 7:2; Revelation 8:3” (H. B. Swete, The Apocalypse of St. John, ad loc.). The two readings are conflated by 42 al into avgge,lou w`j avetou/.
