Adding conflation notes from Jongkind

ABSTRACT OF THIS PAGE
Where there is a word or phrase in Sinaiticus that is a textual conflation, Sinaiticus can only be produced AFTER both elements of the conflation. Here are two verses where there is very little early Greek evidence for one element of the conflation. Ergo, the terminus post quem for the Sinaiticus text is pushed up hundreds of years from the 4th century fantasy consensus, more clearly in the Jude verse.
This is one of many evidences that helps to falsify the early Sinaiticus date, leaving the study to be, was Sinaiticus awkwardly produced around AD 800 (yet with a 4th century main script)? Or was it produced in AD 1840 (when the 4th century script is a deliberate attempt to give an appearance of age.)?
Much more can be studied. Additional conflations. Singular readings, that may have come from the Latin. Amazing studies about correctors matching particular manuscripts. All of this is unique to Sinaiticus. Why? The simplest answer: it was produced at Mount Athos c. AD 1840.
