The bars are simply paragraphoi, they signal paragraphs. It is a complete coincidence that sometimes they coincide with the double dots. Peter M.

For example, I indicated all cases where I suspected harmonization with p) followed by a fairly precise indication of the parallel. I also indicated itacisms and the like.<br /><br />I also decided against using square brackets, under the naive idea that the job of the editor is to edit the text. I indicate doubt by putting the evidence that proves me wrong into the apparatus.Stephen C.

They tend to be more specific than simply "i" or "e," often formulaically stating exactly what the editors thought was the cause of textual variation. Perhaps some of these could be useful to consider as well.Drew Longacrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17654439701997039055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17859011.post-49103189320196469162013-09-26T11:56:54.150+01:002013-09-26T11:56:54.150+01:00Thanks Pete, I don't know about the need for &...Thanks Pete, I don't know about the need for "c" since coherence is very much related to i (transcriptional probability).

Obviously a textual commentary (once upon a time promised within the ECM) would be helpful; but your sigla would be helpful in acknowledging the role of the editor.Peter M.

Proposals for the future include the discontinuation of square brackets, cessation of references to "it" (itala), and mention of the distigmai in B? Steps already taken in the Greek Uncial Archetype of Mark -- plus greater specificity in listings of patristic writers, mention of internal evidence, and symbols to indicate ht and other variant-producing mechanisms. Perhaps the format of the GUAM is the format of the future NTG, if they keep printing them. <br /><br />Regarding the distigmai: why the 1500's instead of a century or two earlier? <br /><br />Yours in Christ,<br /><br />James Snapp, Jr.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />James Snapp Jrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09493891380752272603noreply@blogger.com
