Titus

The purpose of this apparatus is to show all variation within Family 35, as identified by a complete
collation of the following thirty-six representative MSS18, 35, 201, 204, 328, 386, 394, 444, 604, 757,
824, 928, 959, 986, 1072, 1075, 1100, 1247, 1249, 1503, 1548, 1637, 1725, 1732, 1761, 1768, 1855,
1864, 1865, 1876, 1892, 2080, 2466, 2554, 2587 and 2723. The first reading is that of the family and
represents the vote of all the collated MSS (listed above) that are not identified as having a variant.
35, 1072, 1503, 1855, 1864, 1892, 2080, 2587 and 2723 have no variants.

adiaforia , indifference/carelessness, was a common word in classical Greek, while adiafqoria, integrity, apparently did
not exist in classical Greek, and some scribes may have written the more common word without thinking. Also, fq
f would
presumably be an easier alteration than the reverse, being a predictable phonetic simplification. 91.9% of all extant Greek
manuscripts have the double consonant, although 8.3% do so in a shorter form of the word. In any case, it is scarcely credible
that Paul would tell Titus to teach with indifference or carelessness (it might be possible to argue for a derived meaning of
imparciality, but why do so?).
