Sorry about that -- I too quickly misread the latter statement,
disregarding the "not" words and commented on that basis.  Parablepsis by
the scribe. *;-)   The variation existing among Greek MSS in the example
cited gives strong support to the Greek basis for the OL readings in this
case, but even were such _not_ found among Greek MSS, the most likely
explanation of the OL variants would still be a postulated Greek variation
which caused the different readings.  I hope this is now clear.
