You might like to know that there are two variant readings known here:
Mark 4:18
KAI ALLOI EISIN OI EIS TAS AKANQAS SPEIROMENOI, OUTOI EISIN OI TON LOGON AKOUSANTES ...

Byzantine text:
KAI OUTOI EISIN OI EIS TAS AKANQAS SPEIROMENOI,
OI TON LOGON AKOUSANTES ...

"Caesarean" text:
KAI OI EIS TAS AKANQAS SPEIROMENOI,
OUTOI EISIN OI TON LOGON AKOUSANTES ...

Best wishes
