Since I do not have the UBS4 (a protest against the horrendous typeface 
selected for the main text), could you inform us as to the reading of 
this sole eleventh-century lectionary so that we might be able to 
evaluate the editors' choice in this matter?

I am wondering also, unless one of the members of the UBS4 committee 
might have a specific interest from the point of view of rigorous 
eclecticism, or unless a recent article dealt with such reading (a pity 
Keith Elliott is not on the internet!).

It might be in Tischendorf or Von Soden, but I would first have to know 
precisely which reading it is before I look up those references.
