Sirach:

Im from Holland, and sometime i have some difficulty understanding what is ment.

Im from the US and I really dont no what mss means. I think it means manuscript. I think this Codex is said to be one of the earliest respected sources.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Codex Sinaiticus (London, Brit. Libr., Add. 43725; Gregory-Aland nº א (Aleph) or 01, Soden δ 2) is a 4th century uncial manuscript of the Greek Bible, written between 330–350. While it originally contained the whole of both Testaments, only portions of the Greek Old Testament or Septuagint survive, along with a complete New Testament, the Epistle of Barnabas, and portions of The Shepherd of Hermas (suggesting that the latter two may have been considered part of Biblical canon by the editors of the codex[1]). Along with Codex Vaticanus, Codex Sinaiticus is one of the most valuable manuscripts for textual criticism of the Greek New Testament, as well as the Septuagint. It is the only uncial manuscript with the complete text of the New Testament, and the only manuscript of the New Testament written in four columns per page.

I think in this case MSS is the acronym or abbreviation for Manuscripts.

Remember the sovereignty of God. God causes all things. God caused the original scriptures to be written down, and God caused the "spurious" scriptures to be added.
It is the "spirit that quickens".
"The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple." Psalms 119:130
Meditate on the Word day and night.
