The practice of the text has been elaborately investigated by Th. Benfey (*Die Quantitätsverschiedenheiten*, Göttingen 1874—1880) and J. Zubatý (*Der Quantitätswechsel*, Vienna Oriental Journal, 1888—1891). Only a very short summary of the results can be given here: in many cases more detailed information is given above. The chief practical importance of establishing the rules of the text (so far as it is possible) lies in the presumption that some of the exceptions represent an earlier recension.
