Codex Ephraemi (C) has lacunae from John 1,40 onwards, so the affinities are based on variants until the first one in John 1,40. Therefore its results are not entirely comparable to the rest of the witnesses. This portion of the text in Codex Bezae (D) has been completely lost due lacunae, so the principal representative of the D-text is unusable here. This kind of atomistic study on individual textual vari- ants has limitations that do not answer the question of unique patterns of readings found in the witnesses, but it does give indications of textual affinities42. The following table lists the agreement percentages based on the studied variants for each witness in comparison to P106vid. 42 For a more thorough method, see F. Wisse, The Profile Method for Classifying and Evaluating Manuscript Evidence (SD 44; Grand Rapids, MI 1982).
