At the link above is a portion of the Article "Jehovah" from the
Encyclopedia Britannica of 1910-11.

It mentions that Clement of Alexandria said that the Tetragrammaton was
pronounced "Iaoue",
however in a footnote at the bottom of the page,
it mentions that 3 different variants are found at Stromata Book V.
Chapter  6.

One of these variants is "Iaou" and it is said to be found in Codex L.

Codex L is Greek Codex Laurentianus V 3, and is an eleventh century
manuscript.

It is possible that Codex Laurentianus is the oldest evidence in
existence,
that preserves the actual Greek spelling that Clement of Alexandria 
wrote in about 200 A.D.

Smith's 1863 "A Dictionary of the Bible" also says "Iaoue" is found in a
catena to the Pentateuch
in a MX. at Turin.

The Catholic Encyclopedia of 1910 in the article "Jehovah (Yahweh)" says:

Moses asks in Ex33:16 about himself and the people. The answer in Ex33:19
also refers to both: show the goodness to Moses, and forgive the people.

Both parts of the answer are palliative refusal: Moses cannot be shown the
glory [face] (Ex33:20), but only the goodness; people cannot be forgiven en
masse, but some of them will be forgiven (those to whom God will show
mercy).
