page 14 note 2 In support of the possibility of an early corruption, see Brunhölzl, E., Hermes, xc (1962), 99Google Scholar, who argues, rather more precisely than Chatelain (praef. viii to facsimile of O), that the not infrequent confusion of B and D is most likely to have occurred in interpreting cursive majuscule of the first century A.D., in which those letters are sometimes indistinguishable. In that script M and N (four and three vertical strokes respectively) are not altogether dissimilar.
