^{page 394 note 1} The Bodmer Papyri offer slight variations in spelling. ⁶⁶ reads and ⁷⁵ βηθ' σαίδα. Victor Martin notes (Papyrus Bodmer XIV–XV. Évangiles de Luc et Jean, I, 17Google Scholar) that in these papyri occasionally a dot or an apostrophe is placed in the middle of a word to separate consonants. Further (ibid. p. 22) Bethsaida is written with delta in Luke ix. 10, and x. 13. In John i. 44 the theta is written as a superscription over the delta. From this point on in ⁷⁵ the writing with theta prevails. He notes the analogy in Luke xviii. 9 where the theta in εξουντες is surmounted by a delta ‘as if the scribe would leave up to the reader the choice between the two spellings’ (ibid. p. 22). He notes further that theta, dominant immediately before the Christian era, gave way to delta under Atticistic influence (cf. Funk, , op. cit. p. 18).Google Scholar
