Christian Texts and History • Re: The Legendary Ben Smith's TextExcavation Site

Thanks very much for making that archive, @marcin. This is extremely useful.

On a separate note: Does anyone know what the 'source(s)' is/are for the "on-site" texts that Ben has posted? (I have searched much of the site for info but - so far - without success.) My issue is that, now that I have started work on my 'annotated parallel' texts for the Apostolic Fathers' works, I have been noticing a number of differences between Ben's posted text and that from Lake's 1912 publication (the 2-volume, "Apostolic Fathers"). I'm aware that Lake's Greek text is not actually a direct transcription of the codices but that doesn't explain the divergence I am seeing.

For example, in 1 Clement 12:5, Ben has only the first 5 words - all the rest of the verse (i.e. most of it) is missing. So, the quotation is introduced but not actually given. Many other differences can be put down to "typos" but things like that are significant and an explanation would be interesting.
