Apart from these traces pointing to a process of editing in the very period of the textual fixation of the texts, we also have to reckon, as shown by Alsdorf, with the clerical errors going back to the same stage and therefore transmitted in all presently available manuscripts. This state of affairs provides an excuse for conjectural emendations, the outcome of which, however, is inevitably arbitrary and by definition open to discussion. These emendations are therefore to be considered as markers of, given our present knowledge, otherwise unsolvable textual problems.
