Acts 9:35 Sarw/na

The testimony of most early witnesses converges upon the spelling Sarw/na (î53, 74 (&rr& A) B C E). The scribes of î45 and of numerous minuscules (followed by the Textus Receptus), not observing that the word was already accusative from Sarwn, added &n, making it accusative from Sarwna/j. The spelling with prefixed alpha (VAssa,rwna in H L (VAsa& P) 33 al) may be, as Zahn suggested, 189 in imitation of the Hebrew article, although the Aramaic article was already indicated by the final &a.
