INDEX TO NOTATION.
'Western' in origin, containing important matter apparently derived from extraneous sources, as in Matt. xvi. 2, 3 (p. 38).
MARKS IN THE MARGIN.
[ ] Used in the margin with the same significance as in the text (see above), to distinguish two or more marginal readings which differ from each other merely by the omission or addition of words. Thus two alternative readings are indicated in the margin at Matt. viii. 18 (p. 19), one being πολλοὺς ὄχλους, the other ὄχλους without πολλοὺς. v. In other cases, two or more marginal readings are separated by v. See marg. Matt. xiii. 30 (p. 32).
Ap. (1.) When attached to marginal readings or punctuations, this indicates that such readings or punctuations are examined in the Appendix.
Ap.„ (2.) Accompanied by †† in the text. See †† above.
Ap.„ (3.) Standing alone, without any corresponding mark in the text, it indicates places where occur miscellaneous rejected readings which, having some special interest, are noticed in the Appendix. See Matt. xvii. 20 (p. 41).
Ap. † Accompanied by ⸢ ⸣ in the text. See ⸢ ⸣ (2.) above.
⸡ ⸠ Accompanied by ⸆ or ⸢ ⸣ in the text. See ⸆ (2.) and ⸢ ⸣ (3.) above.
* This mark indicates that the marginal note, being too long to be conveniently inserted in the usual place, has been printed at the foot of the page, where it is distinguished by a corresponding *. ‡ When two notes of this kind occur on one page, the second is indicated by ‡. See Acts xviii. 21 and 27 (p. 290).
