Changes of reading along the edge separating internal nodes a (the closest internal node to the Harclensis group that is not an immediate ancestor of any manuscript in that group) and b (the ancestor of the Harclensis group, including 1852) on our maximum parsimony reconstruction of the Letter of James stemma (Figure 7). Addresses in this and subsequent tables are given in the format chapter:verse:word, with separate start and end addresses if the variant spans several words. Words are numbered according to the Editio Critica Maior system (Aland et al. 1997a, 17*). Greek readings are transcribed from the ECM in lower case without accents. The codes to which readings correspond match those in the ECM.
