- Conclusion “And”
So even though Scrivener changed Beza's “εὗρον” to “εἶδον,” it is of no real significance because both mean “invenerunt” in Latin. All throughout the reformation in Matthew 2:11 they used “εἶδον,” “εὗρον,” and “invenerunt” side by side. In his Latin, Erasmus used “repererunt” (found) for “εὗρον” in 1516, but later editions say “invenerunt”. The Complutensian used the different “εἶδον,” but still had had “invenerunt” in Latin.
On Page 243 of The authorized edition of the English Bible (1611) its subsequent reprints and modern representatives by F. H. A. Scrivener Published 1884, it says that the Complutensian and the Bishops' have in place of "εἶδον" (for "εὗρον").

2 John 1:1
Scrivener deletes τῇ in the phrase ἐν τῇ ἀληθείᾳ, which the KJV translators used for "the" in the phrase in the truth. The NKJV following Scrivener has "in truth" omitting "the" and slightly changing the meaning.
