Byzantine manuscripts
Greek manuscripts · 𝔐 · 9th–16th centuries
The text read by the great majority of the more than 5,000 Greek manuscripts of the New Testament: the text of the Greek-speaking church for over a thousand years, copied across the Byzantine empire. Nearly all Greek manuscripts from the 9th century on have it. It is printed as the Majority Text (Hodges and Farstad, 1982; Robinson and Pierpont, 2005). The Textus Receptus, the Greek the KJV was translated from, was printed from manuscripts of this text.
