§ 6. MSS. AT (fifR).
Group Z is characterized by readings in which group Y is in
opposition through a slight alteration in the principle on which the
classification is based, cf. § 2. Z is an integral group in the follow-
ing instances, agreeing by means of the readings introduced below :
v. 51 Alquin. 217 shed. 321 pe (unmodified). 393 simne his.
100 wolt hem to. Group Z deviates slightly, 1. 105, in the omission
of hit in R, where otherwise the two groups are intact. In 167,
group Y are unanimous in the use of And, while HVR translate Ac
of Av by the redaction But, a characteristic reading of HVR not in
opposition to the group Z; cf. § 6. Similarly 188 omits it, the value
of group Z being uninfluenced. 250 has difficulty with an added to
in Y. The line reads in D For to com instead of the Tyll it came to
of A.2.H2, in opposition to group Z, Til hit com.
The integral character of group Z is preserved in additional
readings:

To these may be added other passages, which, though varying
in some detail, yet do not in general detract from the force of the
argument: lines 168, 188, etc. With these coincidences are to be
considered those presenting intimate connection within the limits of
its immediate group.

1. Coincidences in MSS. Hx and R.
It is obvious that intimate relationship must characterize R and
H in common. Although separated by an interval of seventy-five
years on general estimate, and at variance in important details, by
which each MS. is characterized by mistakes introduced on its own
responsibility, yet it must be admitted, that the transcripts R and Hl
in noteworthy instances unite in combinations not accounted for in
remaining texts. The omission of lines 737—740 is shared in common
