2 Peter

The purpose of this apparatus is to show all variation within Family 35, for 2 Peter, as identified by a
complete collation of the following forty-two representative MSS18, 35, 141, 149, 201, 204, 328, 386,
394, 432, 604, 757, 824, 928, 986, 1072, 1075, 1100, 1248, 1249, 1503, 1548, 1637, 1725, 1732, 1754,
1761, 1768, 1855, 1864, 1865, 1876, 1892, 1897, 2221, 2352, 2431, 2466, 2554, 2587, 2626 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, 1725, 1864, 2554 and 2723 have no variants.
