Notes and quotes.

§ I count the following agreements between Matthew and Luke against Mark:

1. Matthew 27.55 and Luke 8.3 have αιτινες (who) where Mark 15.41 has the simpler αι (who).
2. Matthew 27.55 and Luke 23.49 have απο της Γαλιλαιας (away from Galilee) where Mark 15.41 has εν τη Γαλιλαια (in Galilee).
