Revelation 14:20 cili,wn e`xakosi,wn

Instead of 1600 stadia, a reading well supported by ac A C P 046 most minuscules, versions, and patristic references, several inferior witnesses read 1606 stadia (cili,wn e`xakosi,wn e[x, 1876 2014 2036 2037 2042 2043 2046 2047 2074 2082 Andrewa); a few other witnesses read 1200 stadia (cili,wn diakosi,wn, a* 203 506 syrph), probably because this numeral lends itself better to symbolic interpretation. One Old Latin manuscript (itgig) reads mille quingentis (“1500”), and cili,wn has been accidentally omitted in 2065 and by the first hand of codex Amiatinus.
