Von Soden divided manuscripts of the Byzantine text into five groups: * K^x: no uncials, hundreds of minuscules, among them codex 2, 3, 8, 14, 45, 47, 49, 51, 54, 56, 58, 59, 60, 61, 73, 75, 76, 78, etc. * K^r: no uncials, no early minuscules, hundreds of minuscules: 18, 35, 55, 66, 83, 128, 141, 147, 155, 167, 170, 189, 201 * K¹ (subfamily of K^x): S V Ω 461 * Kⁱ (Family E): E F G H * I^k (also K^a), now Family Π: (A) K Y Π; this subgroup is the oldest, but only 5% of manuscripts belong to it. Majority of them have text mixed with other Byzantine subfamilies. Since the discovery of , , and , there is occasionally an early witness to some Byzantine text readings. Examples: Luke 10:39 : : A W Byz b : : B D L Ξ 579 892 cop^bo syr^c Luke 10:42 : : A C W Byz : : B : : : : 38 syr^pal Luke 11:33 : : B F Θ ''f''¹ ''f''¹³ : : 33 Byz John 10:29 : : B it : : ''f''¹ ''f''¹³ Byz John 11:32 : : B C* D L X : : Θ Byz John 13:26 : : B C L X 33 : : ^c A Θ Acts 17:13 : : : omitted: E Byz 1 Corinthians 9:7 : : * A B D* G P : : Byz Ephesians 5:9 : : * A B D* G P : : Byz Philippians 1:14 : : A B (D*) P Ψ 33 81 104 326 365 629 1175 1241 2464 : omitted: D² Byz Other examples of Byzantine readings were found in in John 1:32; 3:24; 4:14, 51; 5:8; 6:10, 57; 7:3, 39; 8:41, 51, 55; 9:23; 10:38; 12:36; 14:17. This supports the views of scholars such as Harry Sturz (1984) and Maurice Robinson (2005) that the roots of the Byzantine text may go back to a very early date. (In 1963 Bruce Metzger had argued that early support for Byzantine readings could not be taken to demonstrate that they were in the original text.) Some authors have interpreted this as a rehabilitation of the Textus Receptus. Many of these readings have substantial support from other text-types and they are not distinctively Byzantine. Daniel Wallace found only two agreements distinctively between papyrus and Byzantine readings.D.
