The Greek Family 35 vs Patriarchal Greek Text

Hi Folks:
I have a Greek NT family/line question:

I have read some of Wilber Pickerings stuff on the Family 35 greek text. (I have it in Accordance). When I compare it with the Patriarchal Greek NT (1904) they seem to be very similar (mainly have found accents being different, though I have only compared one book). They seem to be more similar to each other than with the Robinson Majority text.

My question is: is the Patriarchal Greek text ( used by the Eastern Orthodox Church) based on the Family 35 greek text?

Thanks,
Matthew

I'm not aware of any particular study on the question. An article by Karavidopoulos states that the 1904 edition was based on a study of 45 MSS on Mt. Athos and in Constantinople of the 10-14th century, so some them would not be Kr, but others could be.

Thank you Stephen for the info. I wish Logos software included the Family 35 text (its been in pre-pub gathering interest for a long time. I have the Fm 35 text in Accordance, but for quick scanning and comparing texts I like the way Logos lets me do it:
