The Alexandrian Text, or "Alexandrian text type," consists of the oldest manuscripts of the Greek New Testament, which were well preserved due to the favorable dry climate of Alexandria, Egypt.[1] Other than the KJV and NKJV, most modern Bibles were translated using primarily the Alexandrian Text. The Alexandrian text is a bit shorter than the Byzantine Text.
