Together with the paragraphos, it shows that a sense-unit is still demarcated. Between 2,25 and 3,1, a paragraphos is also used. In the margin, a section num- bering marker (i), following the one in 2,22, is also observed. However, a space of about the width of two to three letters is deliberately left, unlike what is in 2,22 and 2,24. Given Stanley Porter’s observation that ekthesis is not normally used in Vaticanus 39, the combination of an extra blank space, paragraphos, and the section numbering marker indicates the presence of a relatively major division, a phenomenon which Dirk Jongkind identifies as a new paragraph in Vaticanus 40. d.

Com- pared with the similar use of the middle stop after EN TH EORTH in the vicinity of v. 23b, this indicates a minor break/ interpunction, not a paragraph, since the POLLOI EPISTEUSAN clause follows the preceding WS clause closely. Other than this, there is no other mark revealing further sense-unit division. After 2,25, however, 38 Caspar Gregory finds that it is likely to be inscribed by a second hand. C.R.
