Revelation 17:8 u`pa,gei {B}
Orthographically u`pa,gei (A 1611 2053 al) differs very little from u`pa,gein (a P 046 051 1006 1854 al), for in Greek manuscripts final n is often represented merely by a horizontal stroke over the preceding letter. In the context the present indicative is the more difficult reading, which copyists would have been prone to alter to the infinitive after me,llei.
