3.9. Relations of the Mss.
As seen above, the text largely deals with popular narrative; thus the scribes could have taken more liberty with the text without altering its structure; but this is not done. The text is preserved in one coherent version; all the mss, agree generally, apart from scribal idiosyncracies. These slips of the scribes, minor omissions and agreements provide a clue to the relations of the mss. I have classified below agreements and omissions indicating the relations of the mss.
