The reference for Aland's article _The Text of the Church?_ is: Trinity Journal 
8,2 (1987) 131-144.

The Patristic statistics performed in this article refer to the apparatus of the 
revised fourth ed. of GNT with its some 1200 units of variation.

Besides, the statistics brought forth by Mark Arvid Johnson (Thu, 7 Oct 1996) 
are not reliable as far as Aland's statistics are concerned. Either Pickering or 
Johnson have either misrepresented Aland's statistics or rely on different data. 
Without consulting Pickering's article reviewing Aland's article we should not 
continue to extrapolate from the statistics in Johnson's post.
