Luke 2:33 o` path.r auvtou/ kai. h` mh,thr {B}

In order to safeguard the doctrine of the virgin birth of Jesus, o` path,r was replaced by VIwsh,f in a variety of witnesses, some of them ancient (Old Latin, Gothic, and the Diatessaron). Other witnesses added auvtou/ after mh,thr, either for stylistic balance with o` path.r auvtou/ (as a* L 157 al), or by transfer when o` path.r was replaced by VIwsh,f. Besides a number of singular readings, VIwsh.f o` path.r auvtou/ kai. h` mh,thr auvtou/ (157 eth) is an obvious conflation.
