Hoskier attempted to demonstrate that Vaticanus presents a text which has been conformed to the Coptic versions.

He also compared the text of Minuscule 700 with the Textus Receptus, where he noted 2724 differences between the two.

Hoskier shows parallels between Papyrus 46 and the Ethiopic Version in the Pauline epistles.
