Sumario:The reading of Codex Alexandrinus at 1 John 1:7 (where most MSS read αλληλων) has not been clearly or accurately reported in modern critical editions. Some editions suggest there is some trace of αντον in the MS and/or that a corrector provided the reading αλληλων. That portion of Alexandrinus is damaged and no trace remains of whatever word followed μετ'/μετα (which is also not fully present) or of a corrector's hand at this point in the MS. As the earliest scholars to address this subject indicated, there does not seem to be suffi cient space available for the missing word to have been αλληλων.
