v3.c20.s2.16

Of all these manuscripts, 'A' is the shortest. The characters are legible, clear and bold, but the language is very corrupt. The corruptions are not due only to the copyist, but are to be ascribed to the sources from which 'A' was copied. It does not differ materially from the first and second parts of 'F.' In fact 'A' and 'F' resemble each other so closely as to suggest a common origin, and may be taken to form one group.
