| | Discussion: 69. Nicopolis - ('Amwas-Emmaus) |
 | | This is the reading in Papyrus Bodmer (P75), Codex Alexandrinus, Codex Vaticanus, Codex Bezae Cantabrigiensis, the second corrector of Codex K, Codex Regius, the Freer Gospels, Codex X, Codex Delta, Codex Psi, and uncials 063 and 0124. |
 | | The poorer reading one hundred and sixty stadia appears in Codex Sinaiticus, the original of Codex K, Codex Koridethi, Codex p, probably in uncial manuscript 079, certainly in minuscule 1079, in the Palestinian Syriac, in the Armenian, and in Eusebius, Jerome, and Sozomen. |
 | | The Editorial Committee of the United Bible Societies' Greek New Testament feels that the reading 160 stadia arose with patristic identifications of Emmaus with Amwas-Nicopolis W of Jerusalem (Metzger 1971: 184). |
