Itacisms With Eta and Iota in Greek Manuscripts of 1 Samuel

The full spelling has caused the reading χρηστοῦ in O through itacism; both 247 and 376 inconsistently use the orthography with eta and iota as well as the nomen sacrum: 1 Sam 2:10 χριστου 247, χρηστου 376; 2:35 χρηστου O; 12:3 χυ 247, χριστου 376; 12:5, 16:6 χρηστος O; 24:7 χρηστω, χρηστος O; 24:11 χς 247, χρηστος 376 (also A); 26:9 χν O; 26:11 χρηστον O; 26:16 χν 247, χρηστον 376; and 26:23 χρηστον O. [Tuukka Kauhanen, The Proto-Lucianic Problem in 1 Samuel p. 118]
