رسالة د. كهلان الخروصي

This means (a) that E is not the exemplar of T1 or vice verse (though that can be established on the manuscript dates); (b) it is highly unlikely that E and T1 share a common exemplar، so that the descent of the manuscript is likely to be:

… However the scribe of T1 was aware of arrangement differences either in E or، perhaps more likely in B. [Another possibility is that the scribe of C was aware of what was in B].

… There are lesser differences also، and these are some times crucial and undeniable;⁽¹⁾ for example، additional traditions، completeness of missing sentences due to a slip of the pen at similar words، change in the order of some traditions and different order of words and phrases that are joined by conjunctive words، are some of these differences. This ultimately tends to suggest variant origins. Thus the argument remains with no certain clue unless further evidence turns up.
