Many of these examples are quite significant, and taken together they
exclude completely the possibility that 36 is a transcript of 521.
Agreement between521 and 18 (oryo) against 36 The excerpt also pro-
vides 15 examples where 521 differs from 36 while having independent
support (38 is considered to be independent here):
IA 4,165 6,13, 23
IB 12
IC 1, 2, 7, 9,10,12,13
IIA 3,11
IIB 3, 8
In addition there is example IA 9, where 18 supports 321 while 70 at
first had the same reading but has been corrected to agree with 36. The
examples under IC and IIA are the most significant. It is difEcult not
to believe that 36 has altered the exemplar here, while 321 preserves
the reading of K.
There are therefore many examples showing beyond doubt that 321
and 36 are independent of each other.
7.2.4.5 Relationship between 521 and 38
Of the instances where 321 has different readings from 36, and where
36 is supported by 18, there is often striking agreement between 321
and 18. There are seven examples of this under IA (nos. 1, 7,15,17, 20,
165
70 supports 522.
