None of these three MSS. comprising Group Z is directly or in-
directly the antecedent of another. Ar because the oldest text cannot
have been derived from R or If, nor can R have been derived from
the younger text If. Were this not the case, numerous instances
of mutilation in AL or in If occur, where the third MS. contributes
the original reading. Equally impossible is it that R or If has
origin in A1; cf. § 5. Instances exist, where If or R conveys the
correct reading lost in the other MSS. respectively. The results of
the argument of § 7 indicate that If and R propagate characteristics
of a distinct source &. Since none of the three MS. texts is derived
from any other of the same group, then it must be assumed that
they return to a common original Ax II, R.
Two groups of MSS. have thus been discovered, each connected
in internal characteristics through its representative texts. Addi-
tional coincidences indicate other development, suggesting that some
scribe had access to more than one MS., and that he modeled his
transcript according to the readings of the two texts, with reference
at times to one MS., at times to the other. Relationship seems to

In addition to conditions thus indicated, MSS. H2.R give evi-
dence of common relationship. Both If and R add to the text of the
other MSS. grete, verses 246 and 380, ryf 171, yt 208, pe 229, pane

relationship must involve with it other conclusions important in the arrangement
of genealogical tables.
