To insert a brief word into this discussion (originally raised by Wm. 
Petersen): 

I admit being in just as much of a quandry regarding the specific MSS
comprising the various mu-groups as anyone else.  Von Soden was long on
describing the groups and group characteristics and his theory of the
Ur-text and stemmatics of the Pericope Adultera, but he did not give any
details regarding the MSS which comprise each group discussed. 

My opinion is that Von Soden's work and theorizing regarding the Pericope
Adultera needs to be _completely_ retraced, beginning with fresh collation
data which will remain a component part of any published results and not
merely summarized by group designators.
