Not really. There are only a handful that are both long and truly ancient. The others are fragments or “newer”.

So the article “THE” would still be incorrect. For thirty years, to those who say, “THE Greek,” I have been asking, “WHICH Greek is THE Greek?” (That is, that they happen to be referring to.) I know what I’m asking. My major in college was Manuscript Evidence. You can, any day of the world, purchase more than a dozen Greek NT editions, all of them having variations from the others.
