E no always clear which single variant represent di author original work. The process of textual criticism dey try explain how each variant fit don enter di text, either by mistake (duplication or omission) or intention (harmonization or censorship), as scribes or supervisors dey transmit di original author text by copying am. The work of the textual critic, therefore, na to sift through di variants, eliminate those wey dey likely no be original, so as to establish one "critical text", or critical edition, wey dey try best to resemble di original. At di same time, the critical text suppose document variant readings, so that the relationship of existing witnesses to the reconstructed original go dey clear to person wey dey read the critical edition. In establishing the critical text, the textual critic dey consider both "external" evidence (the age, provenance, and affiliation of each witness) and "internal" or "physical" considerations (wetin the author and scribes, or printers, fit likely do).```
