The length of the line is rather in favour of the omission of ot. 5. There is evidently no room in this line for και άπαν (or emov) αντω, which is read before τι ow by all MSS. It is noticeable that i-S omits και ηρωτησαν αυτόν. The papyrus variant is the correlative of this, and suggests that the common reading is the result of conflation. 6. ijXias (NAC, &c, T.R.) is slightly more probable than j/Xetas (W-H., with BL) in consideration of the length of the line. 8. ιωανν[ης·. Ίωάνης W-H., with B. 10. There can be no doubt that the papyrus agreed with NBCL in omitting avros (στιν after οώατ*. The longer reading would make a line of thirty-four letters, which is clearly much too long. It is more difficult to decide between ο οπίσω and οπίσω (NB, W-H.). The omission of the article reduces the line to twenty-three letters, two of them being iotas, which is abnormally short. The first line of this column consists of twenty-three letters only, but it includes four omegas and no iota. But, of course, considerations of space are inconclusive for a single letter. 11. ίγω was certainly not read by the papyrus before ουκ (so A and other MSS., T.R.), and probably not after (ΐμι (so B, &c), for its insertion would make the line longer than any other in this column. eyo> is omitted in fr$CL, &c, and bracketed by W-H. 17. The first of the two dots over the t of i'6e is visible. 24. The letter at the beginning of this line appears to be γ; the vestiges are not consistent with τ or v. If t|γ[ω is right here, ισραηλ in the previous line must have been written in the uncontracted form. Recto. 6. The first a of μ(μαρτνρηκα falls under ω of βαπηζων; the supplement is therefore a trifle long, nineteen letters as against seventeen in the previous line.
