Do you believe "brothers", or "friends", belongs in the 1st half of Matthew 5:47?
Do you believe "Gentiles", or "tax collectors", belongs in the 2nd half of Matthew 5:47?
The Peshitta and the by-A.D. 175 Diatesseron have "brothers.... tax collectors", as does f13. Perhaps "174(=f13)" means 174 does too. The KJV and the YLT use "brothers.... tax collectors."
Matthew 5:47 (HCSB)
And if you greet only your brothers, what are you doing out of the ordinary?
Don't even the Gentiles[b: Other mss read _tax collectors_] do the same?
https://biblehub.com/matthew/5-47.htm
(NKJV) And if you greet your brethren only, what do you do more than others?
Do not even the tax collectors do so?
(NIV) And if you greet only your own people, what are you doing more than others?
Do not even pagans do that?
(Young's Literal Translation) and if ye may salute your brethren only, what do ye abundant?
do not also the tax-gatherers so?
(Good News Translation) And if you speak only to your friends, have you done anything out of the ordinary?
Even the pagans do that!
(Aramaic Bible in Plain English) And if you pray for the peace of your brethren only, what excellent thing are you doing?
Behold, are not even the Tax Collectors doing the same thing?

As of A.D. 175, the verse had "brothers.... publicans/tax-collectors":
Diatesseron 9:20
And if ye inquire for the good of your brethren only,
what more have ye done _than others_?
is not this the conduct of the publicans also?
The original Aramaic of the Peshitta has "brothers.... tax collectors":
Matthew 5:47 (Younan)
And if you greet in shlama [peace/hello/goodbye] only your brothers,
what more are you doing?
Do not even the tax-collectors do this?

https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Family_13
Family 13, also known Ferrar Group (f13, von Soden calls the group Ii), is a group of Greek Gospel manuscripts, varying in date from the 11th to the 15th century, which display a distinctive pattern of variant readings — especially placing the story of Jesus and the woman taken in adultery in the Gospel of Luke, rather than in the Gospel of John 7:53-8:11. Text of Luke 22:43-44 is placed after Matt 26:39. The text of Matthew 16:2b–3 is absent. They are all thought to derive from a lost majuscule Gospel manuscript, probably dating from the 7th century. The group takes its name from minuscule 13, now in Paris. ....
In his dissertation on the topic, Perrin lists the current family members as GA 13, 69, 124, 346, 543, 788, 826, 828, 983, and 1689. All of these manuscripts (except 1689) are without the Pericope Adulterae in St. John's Gospel. Most of them relocate the passage after Luke 21:38. This agrees with the historical criteria first established by Ferrar-Abbott in their 1887 publication.
