Anyway thanks for taking the time to answer my question. And thanks for this forum where you and others can share their knowledge and expertise.
First, you're welcome. And you're welcome here.
The Bezan text is an odd Greek version that contains many variant readings when compared to both the Byzantine and Alexandrian Greek texts. Interestingly, the Old Syriac (which we jokingly refer to as "Old Scratch") also contains many of the same variants. I was attempting to illustrate the relationship between them, with this odd reading.
