Extract
(Lampon) προεστὠς τοȋς ⋯γ εμόσιν, ⋯πότε δικάζοιεν, ὑπεμνηατίζετο τ⋯ς δίκας εἰσάγων ὡς ἔϰων τάξιν, εἶτα τ⋯ μ⋯ν ⋯πήμειΦεν κτλ.
The words ὡς ἔϰων τάξιν do not give a satisfactory sense. The MS which Cohn-Wendland-Reiter designate A adds τοιάνδε after τάξιν. The methods of A's intelligent scribe are sufficiently exposed by Reiter. When through inadvertently omitting part of a sentence he could not understand the text, he freely altered and inserted words so as to make it intelligible. A man who was capable of this procedure was capable of inserting τοιάνδε after τάξιν in this passage. We may confidently say that τοιάνδε is based on no authority, an arbitrary addition of the scribe for the sake of making ὡς ἔϰων clear.
