Sy-S Q, f13 Sy-C, arm
It must be noted that on internal arguments alone, the Sy-S reading is certainly
dogmatically the harder one. Claiming Joseph to be Jesus father is
objectionable. Then the other readings would be attempts to overcome this
difficulty.
In general it should be noted that evge,nnhsen throughout the genealogy
denotes legal, not physical descent.
The reading of 2670 is funny.
There is a marginal note on this verse in S/028 (from Swanson):

Mattan (Mt 1:15), the priest in Bethlehem, begat three daughters: Maria, Sobbe, Anna.
Maria gave birth to Salome, the midwife.
Sobbe gave birth to Elisabeth.
But Anna (gave birth to) the holy mother of God.
So are Elisabeth and the holy Maria and Salome the midwife from three sisters (lit. female
brothers).
But the forerunner and Salome the wife of Joseph are from two male brothers:
Barachias begat Zacharias and Haggai, the former (then) Johannes, the latter Salome, the wife
of Joseph, the carpenter.
But Joseph with her begat Jakobus, Simon, Judas, Jose, Esther, Maria.
