Yes, a footnote saying that Grotius had a similar idea in 1646 would have been helpful, but it wouldn't probably have changed the actual argument much - the issue is discussed by Cadwallader in much more detail and with some attention to the papyrological evidence more generally. Peer Review is a hit and miss affair in my opinion. <br /><br />A bigger issue is probably the invisibility of conjectures for the current generation of general NT scholars. Anyone reading an older NA with any care would come across a whole range of interesting and stimulating conjectures (yes, often with incorrect or problematic attribution). Now there is practically nothing in NA28, so if you know about the Amsterdam Database you are blessed and can seem incredibly well informed, but if you do not know you are cursed.Peter M.
