Omission? I only fin one document, a corrector to Sinaiticus who has the article. I would call this slim evidence for omission.

To
make
a
side
comment,
which
doesn't
address
the
specific
passage
being
discussed:
Another
case
where
the
omission
of
the
definite
article
creates
a
possibly
"interesting"
translational
situation
occurs
in
the
Centurion's
proclamation
in
Mt
27.54,
which
is
typically
translated
as:
"Truly
this
man
was
the
son
of
God!"
but
which
could
arguably
be
translated
(at
least)
as
accurately
--but
perhaps
more
controversially--
as:
"Truly
this
man
was
a
son
of
God!"
(On
the
other
hand,
I've
always
been
rather
fond
of
how
the
NRSV's
handles
this:
"Truly
this
man
was
God's
son!"
