This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
8. ομειρομενοι, in all uncials and many minuscc. Theophylact writes, τινες δε ιμειρομενοι ανεγνωσαν, αντι του επιθυμουντες· ουκ εστι δε. WH (see Appendix, p. 144) give ομειρομενοι the smooth breathing; other editors have written it with the rough breathing, following the erroneous derivation from ομου and ειρομαι. In all likelihood, as WH suggest, this form was a local or vernacular variation of ιμειρομενοι, which later copyists substituted for the almost unexampled form in ο-. See Expository Note.

γεγενησθε (for εγενηθητε): K, and most minuscc.—a Syrian emendation, due seemingly to reading ευδοκουμεν as present instead of imperfect (see Expository Note); so the latter verb is rendered in deg, Ambrst (cupimus), Aug (placet). ηυδοκουμεν is actually read here in B; f vg give volebamus; cf. 1Th 3:1, and note on ηυδοκησαμεν.

μαρτυρουμενοι (for -ομενοι): so T.R., after D*G 37 and other inferior minn. (but not in HKL Chr—Syrian); a bad Western corruption.
