The less common name “Titius” seems to have been changed by copyists to the more common name “Titus.” The name “Titius” was apparently omitted due to a mistake of the eye. Copyists seeing "" (“named Titius Justus”) wrote it "" (“named Justus”), being confused by the three occurrences of “TI” and two of “IOU” in a row. Early Greek manuscripts were written in all capital letters with no spaces between words.

: The added statement has several variations in Greek. It is similar to Acts 20:16. If it were original there is no good reason why it would have been omitted from so many early manuscripts of different kinds of ancient text.

The words “of God” are enclosed in brackets in the UBS text, because “the way” is used alone several times to describe Christianity (see Acts 9:2; Acts 19:9; Acts 19:23; Acts 22:4; Acts 24:14; Acts 24:22). The text reading, however, has the best manuscript support.
