Footnote

“Two hundred and seventy-six,” אItmssVgSyh,p; A, “two hundred and seventy-five”; B, “about seventy-six.” In WH the Gr. word ὡς (hos, “about”) is marked by superior half-brackets, and in the margin appears the Gr. word di·a·koʹsi·ai, “two hundred.” The copyist for B evidently made a mistake by combining the final Omega, ῳ (oi), of the preceding Gr. word, πλοίῳ (ploiʹoi), with the next letter, Sigma, ς (s), standing for 200, to form the Gr. word ὡς (hos, “about”). Hence the actual number is 276 instead of 76.
