Luke 8:26 Gerashnw/n {C}

Of the several variant readings, a majority of the Committee preferred Gerashnw/n on the basis of (a) superior external attestation (early representatives of both the Alexandrian and Western types of text), and (b) the probability that Gadarhnw/n is a scribal assimilation to the prevailing text of Matthew ( Matthew 8:28), and that Gergeshnw/n is a correction, perhaps proposed originally by Origen (see the comments on Mt 8.28).
