Timothy Friberg's introductory article to the Byzantine-priority theory is available here in PDF format. The article is largely a summary of the arguments found in Maurice Robinson's writings in a form more comprehensible to those without a previous knowledge of Koine Greek and textual criticism.

The text of various Greek New Testament editions are provided as text files in parsed and unparsed ASCII formats. The text as provided in these files lacks capitalization, punctuation (except the unparsed Antoniades 1904/1912 text) and accentuation. The unparsed combined Stephens-Scrivener text and the parsed Textus Receptus text below have Stephens' 1550 text as the main text and variants of Scrivener's 1894 text indicated as follows:

| [the main text replaced by the variant text] | [the variant text] |

In the unparsed and parsed Westcott and Hort texts variants of the Nestle-Aland 27th edition are indicated similarly. The Greek text is keyed to the Online Bible Greek font, but it can be converted to the Windows Symbol font by swapping "q" and "y" and replacing "v" with "V" by applying the replace function which is available in almost every text editor program.

In the following files the text is pre-formatted.

In the following files the text is formatted as one-verse-one-line.

In the following parsed Greek New Testament texts the appropriate Strong's concordance number and a grammatical tag are attached to each Greek word. The Strong's concordance number identifies the root form pertaining to the Greek word, and the grammatical tag identifies its precise inflectional form. In the parsed Byzantine 2005 text are also included notable Byzantine textual variants, which correspond to the marginal readings of the printed edition.

The CCAT-coded ASCII text of The New Testament in the Original Greek: Byzantine Textform 2005 includes accents, breathing marks, punctuation, capitalization, Byzantine variant readings and Nestle-Aland variants.

The following files list all differences between The New Testament in the Original Greek: Byzantine Textform 2005 and one of the following four texts: Stephens 1550 Textus Receptus, Scrivener 1894 Textus Receptus, Antoniades 1904/1912 Patriarchal Edition and Wilbur Pickering's f35 text. Differences in presence/absence of movable nu and sigma are ingored in the collations except in the collation of Wilbur Pickering's f35 text; the collations of Stephens and Scrivener Textus Receptus also omit differences in word division. The collated text can be reproduced by replacing the words of the base text at the left side of "]" with the words at the right side.
