Default Latin regarding the KJV

With much interest I have learned that some of these missing links not in the Greek manuscripts were actually gotten from Latin texts prior to the KJV being printed...I am doing a bad job trying to convey this concisely, but to the point, I just read this last night and it did not really register until I read it last night how interesting/exciting it was to read this verse...
John 19:19-20
19 And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the cross. And the writing was, JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS.

20 This title then read many of the Jews: for the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city: and it was written in Hebrew, and Greek, and Latin.
KJV

Yes, it says that in the KJV "Latin"...Latin certainly was not that far away as would seem be implied! I am so awestruck thinking about all this.
