In the minuscule manuscript № 194 of the Gospel of Luke, which has the version of 60 stadia, there is the following note on the page border opposite verse 13 of the 24^th chapter, in Greek: "One should read 'one hundred and sixty', because this is what is in the exact texts, and in the confirmation of the truth by Origen". (The minuscule manuscript № 34 has the same note, but without the name of Origen). Because of this note, some authors (M.-J. Lagrange, Commentaire de l'Evangile de Luc, Paris, 1921, p. 617; Meistermann , Guide de la Terre Sainte, 1923, p.14) have attributed this correction of Luke 24:13 (the addition of the word “hekaton”, “One hundred”) to Origen,

who lived in  the Holy Land during the early 3^rd century A.D. They suggest that he did so because of a local tradition that considered Nicopolis to be the Gospel’s Emmaus.  This hypothesis, however, does not explain the origin of this tradition, nor the perseverance with which the Christians of the Holy Land had followed it since ancient times (already since early 3^d century AD!). On the other hand, Origen’s commentary on the Gospel of Luke, which could have resolved the issue, is lost, and an anonymous note on the page border of manuscript № 194 is not sufficient evidence to attribute to Origen the introduction of a correction made to the Gospel text. It should be noted also that this hypothesis was put forward at the time when all the manuscripts containing 160 stadia were considered to be of Palestinian origin, while the 60 stadia version was considered to be "Western". Today, there is another approach to the classification of manuscripts, and it is obvious that the variant of 160 stadia comes from various geographical areas (see Bruce M. Metzger, "The text of the New Testament", NY-Oxford, 2005, pp. 62-84, 305-313, about the manuscripts: א,  K, N, Θ, П, having the variant of 160 stadia).
