The present section deals with the events following the conversion of Saul (Acts 9:1-30). Since the Greek pages of Codex Bezae are missing from 8:29–10:14 and the Latin ones from 8:20b–10:4, we have noted in the Critical Apparatus the variants of other witnesses that differ from the Alexandrian text but at no time consider that a single text, equivalent in its uniformity to the Alexandrian one, can be reconstructed from these readings. The differences among the so-called ‘Western’ witnesses are considerable, and it is almost certain that there were readings of Codex Bezae that are represented by none of them and that cannot therefore be retrieved.

The Variant Readings of the Western Text of the Acts of the Apostles (XV) 145 The considerable attestation to the time detail among the early ver- sions would be a reason to consider its authenticity here. On the other hand, the fact that Î´Î¹á½° Î½Ï…ÎºÏ„á½¹Ï› is found in two different places within the Greek MSS (before and after the name of the town) suggests that it was inserted later, perhaps to mirror the account of Saulâ€™s escape from Damascus (cf. 9:25).
