Um, no. Unlesssssss.... unless Constantine lived say 250 years. I thought that life spans were significantly reduced in the OT because of sinfulness.
Various Bishops developed lists of inspired books:
Mileto, Bisop of Sardis c 175AD
St. Ireaneus, Bishops of Lyons 185AD
Eusebius, Bishop of Caesarea c AD325
Pope Damasus AD 382
Council of Hippo AD393
Council of Carthage AD397
Pope St. Innocent AD405 approved and closed the canon.

Your list should be preceded by stating that God Himself gave the inspiration of the Scriptures to the writers.
