Hi Vanessa: The HCM pp.17-18 "Foreign loan words" discusses this point briefly, but the only guidance provided is " A few loan words are also treated as though exempt from the rules governing the aspiration/ non-aspiration of b/v, k/kh, and p/f when preceded by an open syllable." There are a couple of examples, but that's the extent of it. For my money, I'm fine with either in the absence of a solid rule, but if I had to pick one, "be-Vizantyon" based on the example of "be-Vavel" from the Bible e.g. Jeremiah 51:42.
