The list might be increased from numberless individual faults

/3. On the other hand, MS. H2 did not have its origin in MS. D.
This is indicated by an altered verse in MS. D, line 376, and in the
transposition of lines 167 and 168; 201, 202; 303, 304. D has
the following readings, not shared with H9 :

Numerous variations notably distinct in character are sufficient to
show that MSS. D and H2 are not to be ascribed either to the other
for ultimate source, but that rather they both descend from a common
original represented by D H2.
