Revelation 6:2 kai. ei=don {B}

The words kai. ei=don are absent from 046 about 100 minuscules (most of which add kai. i;de in ver. Revelation 6:1; see previous comment) al. The Committee preferred to include the words (a) because of preponderant testimony, including a (A C i;don) P 1 1006 1611 2053 2344 itgig vg syrh copbo arm al, and (b) because the omission can be either accidental (kaieidonkaiidou), or deliberate on the part of copyists of the manuscripts that read kai. i;de at the close of ver. Revelation 6:1 (who therefore would naturally have regarded kai. ei=don as superfluous). The singular readings ei=don (copsa) and kai. h;kousa kai. ei=don (syrph) are due to freedom in translation.
