and we were to march near the city [ 01A|of BCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRST] Antiparah

As discussed nearby under Alma 56:14, the critical text will restore the original reading without the of in “the city Antiparah” here in Alma 56:31. In this instance, the 1837 edition introduced the expanded reading with the of. Nearby, in verses 33 and 34, the 1841 British edition added the of to the same phrase.
