"Archaic Mark"
Let me second Jim Davila in cheering on Stephen Carlson as he goes after yet another apparent forgery involving that poor gospel writer Mark.
Just as cooks pray for a good crop of young animals and fishermen for a good haul of fish, in the same way busybodies pray for a good crop of calamities or a good haul of difficulties that they, like cooks and fishermen, may always have something to fish out and butcher. (Plutarch, "On Being a Busybody")

Thanks.
Poor ol' Mark! It was neglected for centuries throughout the Middle Ages, until scholars finally came out Markan priority. Now it's a prime target for fakers.
