[Origen]

The "heresies" of some these men gained much influence in the writings of the others who copied some of the Biblical manuscripts, and none copied the entire Bible. Examples of copiers are Tatian (the Diatessaron) and Origen (the Hexapla).

None of that supports your claim that Justin Martyr had anything to do with issuing of manuscripts. You offer zero evidence to support your claim. Why you do make claims for which you have no evidence?

It was a probable suspicion by Bergon and other proponents of the Majority Text that the Vaticanus may have been one of the copies of the Hexapla (as mentioned in the OP).

I don't know who you are reading but Vaticanus is not a copy of the Hexapla. The Hexapla (i.e. sixfold) had six columns. They were:
(1) the Hebrew text in Hebrew letters
(2) the Hebrew text in Greek letters, i.e. transliteration
(3) the Greek version of Aquila
(4) the Greek version of Symmachus
(5) the Greek version of the LXX
(6) the Greek version of Theodotion

Also the Hexapla did not contain the N.T. as Vaticanus does. The Hexapla was a tool used to compare the Hebrew text with Greek texts of the O.T. Again, I don't know were you are getting your information but is it demonstrably false.

This will be my final reply concerning this OP, regardless if you reply again.

It really doesn't matter since you cannot provide any evidence for your claims. The search for credible evidence ought be the goal.

Final comment, because after rechecking I do notice I misunderstood my source, and appreciate your mention of it. Thanks.

Otis is full of historical inaccuracies. In the OP it states: “the Emperor Constantine gave orders that fifty copies of Origen’s fifth column in his ‘Hexapla’ (the Hebrew Bible in six versions) be prepared for use in churches”.

While Constantine did in fact order fifty Bibles, he NEVER ordered that they were to be copies of Origen’s fifth column in the Hexapla. It never happened. No historical source makes such a claim. When an author make a claims and does not provide documentation\sources (in Otis' case cannot provide because it does not exist), then that claim ought to viewed as suspect.
