To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
^^'^ fi»cl readings belonging to the groups described as "Western, Alexandrian, and Neutral, but no distindl// Syrian readings. On the other hand we have seen that in the latter part of the fourth century, especially in the region of Antioch, Syrian readings are found plentifully. Add to this the fact that, as stated above, the Syrian readings often show signs of having been derived from a combination of non-Syrian readings, and we have strong confirmation of the belief, which is the corner- st...one of Dr. Sort's theory, that the Syrian type of text originated in a revision of the then existing texts, made about the end of the third century in or near Antioch. The result of accepting this conclusion obviously is, that where the Syrian text differs from 110 OUR BIBLE AND THE AXCIEXT MANUSCRIPTS. that of the other groups, it must be rejected as being of later origin, and therefore less authentic ; and when it is remembered that by far the greater number of our authorities contain a Syrian text, the importance of this conchision is manifest.
