I need to know how the editors of Sinaiticus' website know about compressing the letters by the original writers. If you help me to debunk the sigma thing as a "letter compression", I would have a proof that ΧΙΡΑ (in Isaiah 29:12) is a modern Greek form of a proper name Hira. The problem is that the editors of the website indicates in the apparatus that the original reading was ΧΙΡΑϚ and only epsilon was added by the corrector. However, I'm suspecting that sigma was almost certainly also added by Cb3, and that the original writer ( scribe B ) wrote ΧΙΡΑ (Hira), while epsilon and sigma were inserted by Cb3 to obtain reading for "hands".
