The last word in the reported verse 16:8 is "γάρ", which is a post-positive term in Greek such that it is usually the second word in a sentence.  "γάρ" is a conjunction meaning "for", "since", or "because", with the reason to follow.  It is exceedingly unlikely that the word "γάρ" would be the last word in a book.

Having "γάρ" as the last word of a book is as unlikely as having "since" or "because" as the last word of a book.  Scholars have scoured all of Greek writings for any example of this, and the only instance they found was a volume that was part of a larger collection of works.<ref>https://www.jstor.org/stable/43725642</ref>
