Hebrews 1:3 and Greek Texts

 In this post, I simply want to compare how different Greek texts handle Hebrews 1:3:

Westcott-Hort: ὃς ὢν ἀπαύγασμα τῆς δόξης καὶ χαρακτὴρ τῆς ὑποστάσεως αὐτοῦ, φέρων τε τὰ πάντα τῷ ῥήματι τῆς δυνάμεως αὐτοῦ, καθαρισμὸν τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν ποιησάμενος ἐκάθισεν ἐν δεξιᾷ τῆς μεγαλωσύνης ἐν ὑψηλοῖς,

SBLGNT: ὃς ὢν ἀπαύγασμα τῆς δόξης καὶ χαρακτὴρ τῆς ὑποστάσεως αὐτοῦ, φέρων τε τὰ πάντα τῷ ῥήματι τῆς δυνάμεως, ^[a]δι᾽ αὑτοῦ καθαρισμὸν ^[b]τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν ποιησάμενος ἐκάθισεν ἐν δεξιᾷ τῆς μεγαλωσύνης ἐν ὑψηλοῖς,

ἐκάθισεν ἐν δεξιᾷ τῆς μεγαλωσύνης ἐν ὑψηλοῖς,

UBS5: ὃς ὢν ἀπαύγασμα τῆς δόξης καὶ χαρακτὴρ τῆς ὑποστάσεως αὐτοῦ, φέρων τε τὰ πάντα τῷ ῥήματι τῆς δυνάμεως αὐτοῦ, καθαρισμὸν τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν ποιησάμενος ἐκάθισεν ἐν δεξιᾷ τῆς μεγαλωσύνης ἐν ὑψηλοῖς,

Byzantine Majority Text 2005: ὃς ὢν ἀπαύγασμα τῆς δόξης καὶ χαρακτὴρ τῆς ὑποστάσεως αὐτοῦ, φέρων τε τὰ πάντα τῷ ῥήματι τῆς δυνάμεως αὐτοῦ, δι’ ἑαυτοῦ καθαρισμὸν ποιησάμενος τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν ἡμῶν, ἐκάθισεν ἐν δεξιᾷ τῆς μεγαλωσύνης ἐν ὑψηλοῖς,

Codex Vaticanus contains the reading: φανερων τε τα παντα τω ρηματι της δυναμεως αυτου

Dana Harris (Hebrews) writes: "The gradual loss of the mid. in BGk. likely explains the var. rdgs. (δι᾽ ἑαυτοῦ in D² Hc K L 0243 and numerous minuscules or δι᾽ αὐτοῦ in 𝔓⁴⁶ D* and a few other mss.), which appear to clarify that Jesus made purification 'through himself'' for us (e.g., ἡμῶν in א² D¹ and numerous early mss.). In these variants, the shorter rdg. is better attested and best explains the variant rdgs. (see Metzger 592; Ellingworth 101)"
