Comments:

 

I don’t understand what the siglum “→” means, and why the entry doesn’t give any rationale for the editors’ choice, since after listing all the variants, NA usually indicates the editors' choice by the formula, “| txt ABCDEFG” or some such.

 

When i cursor over the “→”, the Instant Results window tells me, "• 15 ⸆ pon. και θεραπευειν τας νοσους  p. δαιμονια 700”.

 

Is this all as it should be? What does “→” mean? How can i tell the rationale for the editors’ choice to omit θεραπευειν τας (- Θ) νοσους και?

 

Furthermore, the siglum "→" is not available in the dropdown list of searchable sigla, and as far as i can tell, it doesn't appear in the introduction to NA28 Apparatus.

 

(I have submitted this to corrections@ already, in case it's an error, but i'd appreciate it if anyone can answer my question.)

 

The → is a symbol added into the Accordance edition as a placeholder for a hyperlink which 'points' to the minor variant apparatus (Appendix II). The print edition does not cue the reader to the presence of additional info; one must flip back-and-forth. We took the liberty of saving you the time.

 

As to why the editors do not list txt in this case, I am not readily aware. I checked the print edition, and there are no typos or omissions; this is intended.

 

I hope this helps.
