Vasilee Babota
If I remember well, in his book Versace argues that he identified almost 40 different scribal hands in B; and the distigmai belong to the latter period. It's a pity his Marginalia has not been translated (&updated) into English.

Vasile Babota they mention that their scientific study confirms a lot of Versace's findings

Stephen C. Carlson I personally know him somewhat. We even have one small project on hold... Unfortunately, he has not since engaged much with international scholarship.

Some years ago I focused on Ezekiel but this gives an idea of how Versace locates his B-hands, from B1 to B38

79. To be sure, such an accusation is not correct. According to current scholarship, the re-inking
was probably conducted in the medieval age. In fact, due to this re-inking the original readings did
become a bit more difficult to detect but to a great extent they are still accessible. Moreover, although
the corrector did regularly introduce orthographical variants and on occasion also corrections,
the reason was mainly a practical one, that is, to extend the usability of this ancient manuscript
by retouching its entire text with a standardised spelling system and a set of ‘corrected’
readings. See Versace, Marginalia, pp. 43–50 for an overview of this scribe (his B18).
