> Surely this is not a revival of W&H's Neutral vs. Alexandrian distinction?
Aland: Alexandrian Egyptian
Metzger: early or proto-Alexandrian Alexandrian
Hort: Neutral Alexandrian
Plus or minus a few shades of connotation, these are all the same distinction.
Hort seemed to portray the difference between them as being fairly
large, with the Neutral almost midway between Alexandrian and "Western",
but this was partly due to his Neutral text not being a tangible set
of witnesses, (sci. Origen+01+B), but rather a hypothetical text lying behind
these tangible witnesses.
In any case the distinction just reflects the textual fact that
Origen+01+B (+-D) fairly often agree against C+L+33 et al.
