“The Use of the Latin Fathers for New Testament Textual Criticism”

For example, four Latin writers supply the earliest evidence for the inclusion of the story of the adulteress in the Gospel according to John, anticipating readings that are not preserved in Greek manuscripts until four hundred years later;1
Makes no sense at all.
Are you excluding Codex Bexae because it is a diglot Greek-Latin ms?
Please.
There are additional Latin supports, like Rufinus, but at least Houghton through Becker names four major Latin writers.
Even Richard Simon had this right in the 1600s with a reference to the "Copy of Cambridge."

Hi Professor Houghton,
Question for you. When you wrote:
"For example, four Latin writers supply the earliest evidence for the inclusion of the story of the adulteress in the Gospel according to John, anticipating readings that are not preserved in Greek manuscripts until four hundred years later;"

The Latin writers were after 350 AD. Yet Codex Bezae is within 200 years. Were you deliberately excluding Bezae because it is a diglot? Or was it overlooked at the time?
Any explanation appreciated!
