A Textual Commentary On Matthew 10:13
(a) οἰκία (א, B, C, Majority Text) or οικεια (D, W)? εἰρήνη (B, C, D, Majority Text) or ϊρηνη (א)?
ι and ει – According to A.T. Robertson, the interchange between these two vowel-symbols began very early (certainly by the sixth century B.C.) and has been very persistent to the present day. The inscriptions give numerous examples in the fifth century B.C., such as ἀποκτΐνη and Ἐπαφρόδειτος. This was apparently the beginning of itacism which was extended to υ, η, and then to ῃ, οι, υι. Jannaris thinks that the introduction and rapid spread of η contributed to this confusion as by that time ει was pronounced like ι, and η was taken by many, not as long ε, but equal to ι. The confusion apparently began in the Boeotian dialect and in postclassical times, but swept the field in all the dialects till every ει (closed and open) was pronounced as ῑ. By 100 B.C. the Attic inscriptions shows a general interchange between ει and ῑ, and in the second century A.D. the confusion exists between ει and ῑ. Dieterich thinks that this itacism has its widest development in Egypt. The Ptolemaic papyri of ii/B.C. show itacism very frequently. It is only the more illiterate scribes that use ει for ι, though B has ορειον. Thumb considers the interchange between ι and ει in the κοινή on a par with that between ο and ω. In Pergamum the change from ι to ει is much more common than that from ει to ι, though forms in -ία for -εία occur, as ἀμελία. The same thing is true in Magnesia, where ἡμεῖν (ἡμῖν) is common. The Herculaneum papyri tell the same story, while it is so common in the Egyptian papyri that Moulton is unable to set much store by the minutiae gathered by W.H. from the great uncials, “for even W.H. admit that their paramount witness, B, ‘has little authority on behalf of ει as against ι.'” Clearly the partiality of א for ι and of B for ει throw them both out of court as decisive witnesses on this point. So it is not merely itacism that we have to deal with in the numerous N.T. examples of exchange between ι and ει, but “genuine peculiarities of original orthography” also. Whatever Dr. Hort meant, all that is true is that different scribes merely preferred one or the other method of representing ῑ. The whole matter therefore remains in doubt and one is prepared for all sorts of variations in the N.T. MSS., between the κοινή no longer insisted in the vernacular on the distinction between long or short ι and ει.
(b) Πρὸς ὑμᾶς or ἐφ’ ὑμᾶς? According to Bloomfield, ἐφ’ is a critical correction to suit the verb; for, in point of fact, ἐπιστ. is rarely followed by πρὸς; though another instance occurs in 1 Th 1:9, and several in the Septuagint, but not one in any pure Greek writer. Hence πρὸς should be accepted as called for by internal evidence.
