There are no differences to be observed among the MSS. sufficiently important to justify the classification of the MSS. into well defined groups. Most of the variants, apart from those peculiar to isolated MSS., consist of a reversal of the order of words (e.g. 5). The groupings of the MSS. as shown by the arrangement of stanzas is borne out to some extent by the few variants. ABDEGIKNS show affinities (cf. 7, 21, 42) and traces of subgroups may be noted; thus EGNS (40), EN (42). To this group may be added the defective MSS. DcFPV1. The other MSS. all vary individually rather than as groups; their minor variations reveal the general concordance of all the MSS. and the lack of any important divergence from the text of the main group above.
