No what I'm saying is that the western section was compiled in 395 and last updated in 428, while Bury says it was compiled in 428 and last updated in 437 (which I see no evidence for).
I've seen this before but doubt it. Vegetius' book is dedicated to one of the Valentinians, most likely Valentinian II.
