Galatians is now done. This is a fairly short letter, just six chapters none of which exceed 30 verses.
There are numerous variants in this book, but none are particularly significant. One of the most common types are moveable nus where a final ν is dropped from a word under certain circumstances such as a vowel starting a new word. Another common type is the moveable sigma (ς) which is dropped under similar circumstances. Also common variant is crasis forms such as αλλ΄ for αλλα and καγω for και εγω.
Apart from these fairly common variants there are no significant variants. It appears few changes were made to Galatians over time. Spelling errors, some word order changes, crasis, and the occasional omission make up the majority of variants in the Letter to the Galatians.
