Family Kx


Family Kx is a large group of the New Testament manuscripts. It belongs to the Byzantine text-type as one of the textual families of this group. It includes uncials, and although hundreds of minuscules, no early ones.

The group was discovered by Hermann von Soden and designated by him with symbol Kx. The only distinction von Soden made among Kx members was according to the presence and type of the Pericope adulterae. Due to the massive influence of the group on other groups and its lack of control, the boundaries of group remain blurred. The most problematic is the question, how many Kx readings can be missing and how many surplus readings can be added before a manuscript no longer deserves to be classified as Kx?

According to the Claremont Profile Method Kx has following profile in Luke 1, 10, and 20 are:

According to von Soden the group Kx emerged in the 10th century. The group probably evolved from Family E, which is not as easy to distinguish as groups Kr and K1. Von Soden included these Kappa manuscripts in this family, which are not classified as Kr or Ki.

The Textus Receptus was created on the basis of the manuscripts of this group.
