Family K1

Family K¹ is a small group of the New Testament manuscripts. It belongs to the Byzantine text-type as one of the textual families of this group. It has five uncials, and several early minuscules. It is one of the smallest subfamilies of the Byzantine text-type, but one of the oldest.

Description

The group was discovered by Hermann von Soden and designated by him with the symbol K¹.^[1] Wisse included this group to the K^x (and Kⁱ), and according to him it is the only subgroup or cluster of K^x.^[2] But the opinion of Wisse is based on a small sample size, only three chapters of Luke — chapters 1; 10; and 20. Based on age alone, it appears that K¹ is independent of K^x.^[3] The leading members of the group, according to Soden, are manuscripts S, V, and Ω.

According to Soden the group K¹ is the oldest form of the Kappa–text, dating from the 4th century and resulting from Lucian's recension.^[4]

The texts of Matthew 16:2b–3 (the signs of the times), Luke 22:43-44, John 5:3.4, and the Pericope Adulterae (John 7:53–8:11) are marked with an asterisk (※) as doubtful. The text of Mark 16:8-20 has not numbered by κεφαλαια (chapters) at the margin and their τιτλοι (titles) at the top.^[5]

The group probably evolved from Family E. It represents the earliest stage of the Kappa-text.
