Here scribe 2 of π wrote βthe works of manβ when he copied the text from π into π. This reading will work here, but then so will βthe works of menβ, the 1830 reading. When Oliver Cowdery proofed π against π, he restored the plural men, the undoubted reading in π. The critical text will maintain the use of the plural men in this phrase. (There are no other instances in the Book of Mormon text of either the phrase βworks of menβ or βworks of manβ.)
Summary: Maintain in 3 Nephi 27:11 the plural men in βthe works of menβ, the 1830 reading as well as the corrected reading in π.
