The clue to the readings here, as the present writer finds hinted in a MS note of Dr. Hort’s, lies in Mark’s use of "Iw. 6 Barrigwr (64, not 8%; yet see 28 2P*) as a title for the Baptist. The original reading is : (#)=‘ John the Baptizer appeared in the wilderness preaching.’ (6) is an Alexandrian emen- dation, the Marcan idiom not being recognized, and the article causing difficulty in consequence =‘There appeared John who used to baptize in the wilderness and preach.’ (c) shows the Western handling of the difficulty, dropping the troublesome article, inserting «af, and, because the wilderness was a strange place to be specially connected with the baptisms, transposing the words. (d) is ‘ dis- tinctively Syrian,’ and conflates (6) and (c), keep- ing the order of (4) and dropping the article with (c) This is a first-rate example of the excel- lence of B in Ternary Variations. The connecting particle with éyévero in %* and Boh should be noticed. It could preclude the conn. of vv. and 4 which Orig Joh favours.
