Hello, although I'm well familiar with Textual Criticism and its workings, I can't claim any real expertise in the area and I need an expert's opinion. In John 11:1 of Sinaiticus, the name ΜΑΡΙΑ[C] appears to overwrite something previously written. The N/A apparatus doesn't list a variant reading there nor does the website iohannes.com indicate anything of interest. Am I seeing something that from a Textual Critical standpoint isn't there?
Thanks so much!
Sinaiticus and John 11:1

I am not an expert, but my guess is that the verso-side (column 4, line 20, the ιοτα of εις is shining through on the recto-side.
Have a look at the attachments.

I've had a look at the images up on www.codexsinaiticus.org, and it just looks like a very slight mark to the left of the second α.
Certainly no evidence of any under-writing being scrapped away and written over.

Re: Sinaiticus and John 11:1
Sorry for the late reply. After I posted the question, I came down with something pretty real. COVID? I don't know. Anyway, I just wanted to say thanks for everyone's replies!
