A closer look at Bezae's
Mt 12:45
Mark 5:15, Mark 6:18
John 9:13
Acts 3:2
For the Aramaic Mt 12:45, there are 2 superfluous pronouns, specifically the "it"s of "dwell in it" and "be to it." The latter involves a pronoun and then its corresponding noun:
"will be to it-- to this evil generation."
Maybe there's a pronoun-then-noun construction in the Bezae Greek Mt 12:45, but it's not obvious to me. Maybe the Bezae Greek reads, "and it becomes the end of it-- of that man."
Mt 12:45 (based on Younan)
Then it will go (and) lead seven other rukha [spirits] with it who are worse than it,
and they will enter and dwell in it, and the end of the man-- it will be worse than his beginning.
Like this will be to it-- to this evil generation."
Mt 12:45 Codex Bezae, pg 64

Using google translate on "και γεινεται τα αισχατα αυτου
του ανθρωπου εκεινου · χειρον των πρωτων":
and it becomes the end of it--
of that man....

The Bezae Mk 5:15 has a pronoun-noun construction that seems to parallel what's in the original Aramaic:
"see him-- a demoniac."
Mk 5:15 (based on Younan)
And they came to Yeshua, and saw him-- the one d'sh-a-d-u-h-i [that (was) possessed of shada/ demons]-- dressed and sober and was sitting, that in whom Legion had been, and they were afraid.

The Bezae Mk 6:18 has a pronoun-noun construction:
"to have αυτην/her-- the wife of the brother of you."
The Aramaic Mk 6:19 has a pronoun-noun construction:
"she-- Herodia-- was a threat."
Mk 6:18-19 (based on Younan)
18. For Yukhanan would say to Herodus that, "It is not lawful to you to take the wife of your brother."
19. And she-- Herodia-- was a threat to him....
