2. ἐγέννησεν. In accordance with all the uncial MSS. the final ν (called ἐφελκυστικόν or ‘attached’) is added in the best critical editions before vowels and consonants alike. To this rule Tischendorf admits a few exceptions, as δυσί (ch. Mat 6:24), βαστάσασι (ch. Mat 20:12). It is probable that ‘ν’ ἐφελκυστικόν appeared invariably in the written prose language even in Attic Greek. See Winer, 43, 44, note 2, and Scrivener’s Introd. p. 486, 487.
