Codex Zacynthius - Text-type

Text-type

The textual character of the codex is representative of the late Alexandrian text-type, and is similar to the Codex Regius. Kurt and Barbara Aland gave the following textual profile of it: 21, 82, 21/2, 3s. This means the text of the codex agrees with the Byzantine standard text 2 times, it agrees 8 times with the original text against the Byzantine and it agrees both with the Byzantine and original text 2 times. There are 3 independent or distinctive readings. On the basis of this profile Alands considered the quality of the text to suit his Category III. According to the Claremont Profile Method, it represents the Alexandrian text in Luke 10 and mixed Byzantine text-type in Luke 1, which probably indicates sporadic Byzantine corrections.
