R.2.24KD.2.64 Were moste priue with mede of any men þouȝte .R.2.24: R's reading here, men þouȝte, is unique error. R is
probably reproducing an omission that had already occurred in alpha. As is often the case, F
's homologous reading, þere owte, has more the appearance of an attempted
repair than a faithful reproduction of the sub-archetype. The Cx reading
here is identical to beta's; however, manuscript X, the single best witness of this version,
agrees with R in omitting me but then reinserts it in another hand! X's
corrected error may attest to an early documentary parent of both B and
C traditions in which the word occurred only as an interlinear
correction.
