Dear list,

since this is my first post on the tc-list I would like to intruduce my
self. I am a graduate student at Vanderbilt preparing for the qualifying
examination in the area of New Testament and Early Christianity.
        A recent post at b-greek list reminded me of the problem conscerning
the relationship between different local texts and Greek dialects.
        The majority text, several uncials like A, C, W, Peshitto and Coptic
read in Mk 14:45 SWMA. (I guess the Coptic tradition has PSWMA that peculiar
Egyptian pronnunciation of Greek). Syrus Sinaiticus and D have PTWMA AUTOU.
Sinaiticus, Vaticanus, L, Coridethianus read PTWMA.
        What is the linguistic evidence to say that, in Alexandria and
Egypt, the preffered word for a dead body was SWMA, while in Antioch and
Syria it was PTWMA? Would you agree with this statement?

Greetings,

Alexander
