Here is another interesting one:
Here is an example of an interpolation, but one that is considered expansive. The first italics section is found in the Received Text and is supported poorly in E P 614 copG67 and Augustine.
That's it. A very small amount of witnesses to it, with no papyrus and neutral text support. Hence it's lack of usage in more modern bibles.
The second italics example, in the bold and colored text, is particular to the syriac only! There are no witness's to this in the greek that I have found.
If we study the second example, it follows the expansion type interpolation, meaning it expands on a particular thought in the text to help the reader, or help the text, or to expand on a particular scribes personal agenda and theology. These are very evident when one compares between the neutral text and the received text. The examples are readily seen and can be weighted separately for originality, although most bible committee's would not spend that sort of time.
So there you go, another interpolation example within the syriac text!
Quote:41 (Lamsa) And those men among them who readily accepted his word and believed were baptized, and about three thousand souls were added in that day.
41 (Murdoch) And some of them readily received his discourse, and believed, and were baptized. And there were added, on that day, about three thousand souls. {or: persons}
