I found some differences between CNTTS Vs Swanson.

Anyone can explain me why there are these differences?

I found some differences between CNTTS Vs Swanson.

Anyone can explain me why there are these differences?...

They could be --

1) Errors in Swanson
2) Errors in CNTTS
3) A different interpretation of the correct reading in the manuscript

Here (http://www.bl.uk/manuscripts/Viewer.aspx?ref=harley_ms_5684_f065v)is an image of codex G = Codex Seidelianus.
Noting the abbreviation for euaggelion, it is clear that CNTTS is correct and Swanson is wrong.
Don't know about the rest (though many of the Swanson readings do look odd...), but at least in this instance go with CNTSS.

I certainly could not account for every single issue with Swanson, but others have said that he does make enough mistakes to question his level of accuracy. It's one of the reasons CNTTS didn't just take his work, but went through it and did their own work in addition.

An errata list of Swanson has been posted somewhere, and I probably have it somewhere on my computer, but at the moment I can't recall where it's posted or where it might be on my computer.

However, the number of errors in NA/UBS and the selective citations in NA/UBS FAR EXCEEDS Swanson, and probably CNTTS as well.

Regardless, it is safe to say that anyone who is going to publish anything based on citations in a manuscript(s) needs to PERSONALLY inspect that manuscript(s) for himself now that they are available online, because it is absolutely certain that any apparartus out there is going to contain errors, and thus the only wise way to put your name on something is to examine the primary source itself. Then, if there is an error, it's your error instead of somebody else's.

I just googled this relative to Swanson's errata list --

So the sideways-headed body with the 'a' inside is an abbreviation for euangelion? Sorry to bother you, I just couldn't figure out how else to describe the figure fronting to kata markon. Thank you for your time!

Yes. Look at the third word in the text which is ευαγγελιον. That way of writing the epsilon is used throughout the text (but not consistently) for ευ and εγ.

Thank you. I see that now. The script and abbreviations. I will have to become familiar with them! Thank you again!
