Hi: Just posting a different version of the Protected from Errancy Bible for
the inspection of all concerned.

Here's Mark 16:2, Ferrar Fenton version.

And at a very early dawn following the Sabbaths, they came to the tomb as
the sun
was rising.

Now I have no idea of how that might read in the "original", nor even if a
truly original exists.

It seems that we are taking as fact, the assertions of folk who were not
above perpetrating more than a little fraud.
