Romans 11:17

Romans 11:17 th/j r`i,zhj th/j pio,thtoj {B}

The unexpected asyndeton of the reading th/j r`i,zhj( th/j pio,thtoj th/j evlai,aj, in spite of its rather limited attestation (a* B C Y), appears to explain best the origin of the other readings, since the widespread introduction of kai, and the omission of th/j r`i,zhj (î⁴⁶ D* G it^{d, g} al) are suspicious as ameliorating emendations.
