and designated by him with the symbol K1. Wisse included this group to the Kx (and Ki), and according to him it is the only subgroup or cluster of Kx.
But the opinion of Wisse is based on a small sample size (only three chapters of Luke — chapters 1; 10; 20). Based on age alone, it appears that K1 is independent of Kx. The leading members of the group according to von Soden are manuscripts S, V, and Ω.
According to von Soden the group K1 is the oldest form of the Kappa–text. It descends from the 4th century and it was a result of the Lucian
's recension.
