Characteristics of the type: Mildly paraphrastic, so as to give an appearance of falling between the Alexandrian and "Western" texts. Since no pure manuscripts are known, most other descriptions of the type have been conjectural. To date found only in the gospels (unless family 1739 is Cæsarean, which is unlikely).
Classified by:
Von Soden -- Iota (Jerusalem) (I), in part (most strong "Caesarean" witnesses are found in Soden's Iα group, with family 1 being his Iη and family 13 being Iι.)
Kenyon -- Gamma (γ)
Lagrange -- C
Primary witnesses: Θ, family 1, family 13, 565, 700, arm, geo (P45 and parts of W claimed by some; however, P45 is a wild text, and W's relationship to the group is questionable)
