Dear John,
As Jeffrey suggested this is a text critical question. Looking at
Swanson I see that for Mark 1:16-17, there are three different spellings for
word "fishers." I say spellings because these are all the same grammatical
form, masc. nom. plural.
1. hALEEIS
2. hALEIEIS
3. hALIEIS
hALEEIS (1) is the reading found in Westcott-Hort; though Tishendorf and the
UBS4/NA27 regard hALIEIS (3) as being original. Of course, these variations
are not differences in the "text" but differences in orthographic
representation of the text.
In Liddell-Scott, the lexical entry for the masc. nom. sing. is hALIEUS with
a note that it was later written as hALEEUS. Thus we have two different
stems hALI- and hALE- which would explain 1 and 3. Without having done any
research, my impression is that (2) is a scribal error and so does not
reflect an additional spelling in currency. After all, (2) occurs in just
two manuscripts (D, L*) and a corrector came along in L and changed it from
hALEIEIS (2) to hALEEIS (3).
Sincerely,
Ted Blakley
