Revelation 20:2 o` o;fij o` avrcai/oj

After to.n dra,konta the Textus Receptus, following most witnesses (a 046 P most minuscules), reads to.n o;fin to.n avrcai/on, thus avoiding the inconcinnity of the nominative o` o;fij o` avrcai/oj (A 1678 1778 2080). The latter reading is in accord with the linguistic usage of the book of Revelation, which employs the nominative case for a title or proper name that stands in apposition to a noun in an oblique case. Eleven minuscules accidentally omit to.n o;fin and read only to.n avrcai/on.
