Hebrews 9:19 mo,scwn @kai. tw/n tra,gwn# {C}

Although the text without kai. tw/n tra,gwn is supported by an impressive combination of witnesses (î46 ac K L Y 181 1241 1739 syrp, h, pal Origen), a majority of the Committee thought it probable that the words had been omitted either accidentally (through homoeoteleuton) or deliberately (to conform the statement to Exodus 24:5). Since, however, it is possible that the shorter reading may have been expanded by copyists in imitation of ver. Hebrews 9:12 dia. ai[matoj tra,gwn kai. mo,scwn (the sequence of which has influenced the reading of D 365 in the present passage), it was decided to enclose the words within square brackets in order to indicate a certain doubt that they belong there.
