Carl,
The distinction between ALLON (another of the same kind) and hETERON
(another of a different kind) is from Fitzmyer (Luke AB, p667) who may
have borrowed it from Plummer (Luke ICC, page 202). Plummer accepts the
reading hETERON in verse 19 supported by Aleph B L R X against ALLON
supported by A B f1 f13 Maj.)

Ben,
Plummer seems to agree with you on this and he cites Gal 1:5-6 in his
comments on Luke 7:19. However, Fitzmyer says "In this period of Greek
the two words were often used indiscriminately (see BDF #306)."
