From the MS. variations, it will be seen that two main groups ADIKN (cf. 9, 12, 15, 16, 19, 25, 32, 33) and PS (cf. 9, 10, 12, 14, 15, 16, 19, 25, 27, 31, 32, 33) are to be distinguished, but it will also be seen that the remaining MSS. fluctuate considerably in their relations with the above two groups. A relationship appears to exist between CMR(T) (cf. 9, 14, 25, 38) but it is so intricate that precise classification is difficult. On the whole, CR stand together (allowing for the individualist qualities of the latter) against ADIK (but cf. 15, 16, 19), but MT frequently conform to this group (cf. 10, 15, 16, 19); on the other hand, these four MSS. CMRT all vary both individually and collectively. a also varies between the various groups besides having many individual characteristics. On the whole, the group ADIK appears to have the better readings where the more important variants occur (cf. 9, 27, 32) and lacks the grammatical errors occasionally to be found in other MSS.
