The Alexandrian Text, or "Alexandrian text type," consist of the oldest manuscripts of the Greek New Testament, which were well preserved due to the favorable dry climate of Alexandria, Egypt. 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.
