  b. 16

a2 at end of bar in A (→FE→EE1)

a2 in FC (→GE) & EE2

The version of FC (→GE) resulted from a mistake of the copyist, who did not notice the  before the last note in b. 16 in A and marked b. 15-16 as a repetition of b. 14 (in A it is only b. 15 that is marked as a repetition; b. 16 is written out with notes). The presence of that version in EE2 proves that the revision of that edition took into account the text of GE1, which was considered authoritative. See also b. 17.
