This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
10. ἐγκατέλιπεν. The rec. text has the aorist here as in 2Ti 4:13; 2Ti 4:16; 2Ti 4:20, ἀπέλιπον, ἐγκατέλιπον; the imperfect ἐγκατέλειπεν &c. in these places is adopted by WH, with the aorist in the margin. The aorists, which we adopt with Tischendorf, have for their main support only אD2* as against ACD2cGLP for the imperfect; but the itacism ει for ι is very common, and the aorists seem required for the sense.

Γαλατίαν. This is the rec. text, and is adopted by WH. Tischendorf and Tregelles read Γαλλίαν with אC, a few cursives, and some MSS. of the Vulgate; apparently an ‘Alexandrian’ reading. Γαλατία was early applied to Gaul, and as it was so applied in interpretation of this passage (for which see exegetical note), the gloss Γαλλίαν naturally crept into the text.
