Revelation 2:7 ("paradise of God" or "paradise of my God"?)

Greek (SBLGNT): ὁ ἔχων οὖς ἀκουσάτω τί τὸ πνεῦμα λέγει ταῖς ἐκκλησίαις. τῷ νικῶντι δώσω αὐτῷ φαγεῖν ἐκ τοῦ ξύλου τῆς ζωῆς, ὅ ἐστιν ἐν τῷ παραδείσῳ τοῦ [g]θεοῦ.

Footnote
[g]: θεοῦ WH Treg NIV ] + μου RP

KJV: He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.

Douay-Rheims Bible:
He, that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches: To him, that overcometh, I will give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the paradise of my God.

Vulgate:
qui habet aurem audiat quid Spiritus dicat ecclesiis vincenti dabo ei edere de ligno vitae quod est in paradiso Dei mei.

Peshitta (Lamsa):
He who has ears, let him hear what the Spirit says unto the churches: To him who overcomes, I will give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of my God.

    What are the manuscripts for the "of the God of me" reading Edgar? Is it primarily a Latin variant? Or a Greek mss variant? Matt13weedhacker.
