Except that there is no scriptural evidence for this insertion.

Have you looked at the "Canticle" of Symeon in D05, which doesn't have EQNWN?

30  hOTI EIDON hOI OFTALMOI MOU
            TO SWTHRION SOU
31  ...hO hHTOIMASAS KATA PROSWPON PANTWN TWN LAWN
32         FWS  EIS  APOKALUYIN
    KAI  DOXAN LAOU SOU ISRAEL

Yet v. 32 can be understood as outlined thus:

32     FWS EIS
        APOKALUYIN  KAI DOXAN
                LAOU SOU ISRAEL

Sans oublier que Syméon  qui était  prêtre (il bénissait les personnes dans
le  Temple) était selon Luc  DIKAIOS KAI EULABHS (v25).

Don't forget that Symeon, who was a priest (he blessed people in the
Temple), was, in Luke's words, DIKAIOS KAI EULABHS (v. 25)
