Well, Luther had the colophons, Tyndale and others. It came from the Greek manuscripts.Not sure which other thread you mean, so I'll justsay here that I see from your link that the "Baptist version" has these words at the end of Romans 16:
"Written to the Romans from Corinth by Phebe servant of the church of Cenchrea."
However, of course there is nothing to say where those words come from. Adam Clarke in his commentary on Romans 16:27, says: "[Written to the Romans from Corinthus,] was written from Corinth is almost universally believed. That Phoebe was a deaconess of the Church at Cenchrea, we have seen in the first verse of this chapter; and that the epistle might have been sent by her to Rome is possible; but that she should have been the writer of the epistle, as this subscription states, is false, for [{Ro 16:22 }] shows that Tertius was the writer, though by inserting the words and sent, we represent her rather as the carrier than the writer. This subscription, however, stands on very questionable grounds. It is wanting in almost all the ancient MSS.; and even of those which are more modern, few have it entirely, as in our common editions. It has already been noted that the subscriptions to the sacred books are of little or no authority, all having been added in latter times, and frequently by injudicious hands. The most ancient have simply To the Romans, or the Epistle to the Romans is finished."
Tyndale corrected the Ltin and added them.
