Perhaps an effect of fading ink? The other horizontal line extending out from the alpha looks like the end of a flourish from the cross stroke of the alpha.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17859011.post-62832478835790154252013-08-23T19:13:35.042+01:002013-08-23T19:13:35.042+01:00From looking at www.codexsinaiticus.org, as well a...From looking at www.codexsinaiticus.org, as well as my NA 28, here are my answers to your two questions:<br /><br />1. It appears that the mark located at ἡ ἐνδώμησις was made by a second corrector, not a third. NA 28 and the sinaiticus.org website seem to confirm as much. <br /><br />2. The little blob you suggested appears to me to be a mark like what is seen in other places I checked out on the page of sinaiticus on the website. I'm not going to say you've been eating the wrong food, since you know more about textual critical issues than I do:) I've provided the link to Revelation 21:18 of Sinaiticus for anyone who wants to check. I like the website because you can look at the manuscripts under "standard" or "raking" lighting.

This looks more like a blot made at the inception of C's cancellation stroke.<br /><br />Issue 2: I agree with Brice that there does indeed seem to be a stroke protruding the blobby apex of the alpha. I don't see an epsilon there, though. This may be a mit imaginative, but what if this stroke, which, as it extends, betrays a slightly oblique stroke, is the remaining bottom part of an epsilon that was cancelled by yet another late corrector? Obviouvsly, this suggestion ought to be counted amongst the "whacky" ones.Peter Malikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00270874379279604671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17859011.post-32830345790714634852013-08-23T02:20:00.237+01:002013-08-23T02:20:00.237+01:00I am not so sure about issue 2, Dirk. There is a h...I am not so sure about issue 2, Dirk. There is a horizontal stroke protruding beneath the "blob" of ink. That is clearly a separate stroke that runs all the way through the top of the letter. If you zoom all the way in on the VMR image, you will see a small trace of ink on the right side of the letter, which is the continuation of that stroke. This may well be a canceling stroke. What else could it be? If it is a canceling stroke, then you may be right about the epsilon, which clearly does look like an epsilon.Brice C.

The straightness, length, symmetry, and style of the cross match the original hand more than any other obvious corrections on the page<br /><br />Issue 2: suggestion implausible.

I don't think it is a epsilon as much as the top part of the latter is fading.Brian LePorthttp://www.nearemmaus.comnoreply@blogger.com
