And, there are literally thousands of manuscripts from antiquity; but they are all different; not one completely agrees with the others.
You don't know how many conflicting reports I've heard about the consistency of old manuscripts. Where did you get your information? Seems like everyone and their dog has a different story. I'd like to see these manuscripts. Then again most scholars who open their traps about this haven't seen them either.
