von Soden to verify Ropes

Ropes reads OUN for DE in Bezae for Acts 7:12. This is minutia but I
cannot find this reading in any other source available to me. Alford
tracks with Ropes about 99% even on spelling issues like EI for H, etc.
So I am wondering if Ropes slipped up here or if this reading has fallen
through the cracks in my other sources.

Could some one who has von Sonden check this reading and let me know?

Postscript

Is von Soden available anywhere for purchase? If not is there some other
reference that would serve as a substitute? I understand (from K. & B.
Aland's book) that von Soden is somewhat difficult to use. Can anyone
verify this? What is one to do if one wants to study the text of the NT
in detail?
