OTOH it is possible that APOKEKULISTAI has been inspired from the parallels (Mt 28:2, Lk 24:2)  or the previous verse 3 (so Weiss).

a) 01, B, and L are THE leading witnesses in Mk (only Psi comes near). 
b) D, Theta, 565 harmonize with Lk, so cannot really be counted here fully. 
We are then left with 01, B, L against C, Delta, Psi, 892, 1342 plus the Byz text. 

In my online commentary I have rated it "indecisive".
