BM 036389+.2
K 06071+
K 01350+
<p>K 01350+, which is our main manuscript, has U4 10-KÁM. We take it as our main variant. Meanwhile, the two other manuscripts which preserve this part (K 06071+ and BM 03689+.2), have U4 30-KÁM, making their protases for 22.3 identical to the protasis of 22.4. It is therefore more likely that K 01350+ has the original protasis as meant in this sequence, writing U4 10-KÁM, and due to a later copying mistake, the other two manuscripts ended up with U4 30-KÁM.</p>
