        Marcus, discípulus et intérpres Petri, juxta quod Petrum referéntem audíerat, rogátus
        Romæ a frátribus, breve scripsit Evangélium. Quod cum Petrus audísset, et probávit, et
        Ecclésiæ legéndum sua auctoritáte dedit. Assúmpto ítaque Evangélio quod ipse confécerat,
        perréxit in Ægýptum, et primus Alexandríæ Christum annúntians, constítuit ecclésiam
        tanta doctrína et vitæ continéntia, ut omnes sectatóres Christi ad exémplum sui cógeret.


        Dénique Philo, disertíssimus Judæórum, videns Alexandríæ primam ecclésiam adhuc
        judaizántem, quasi in laudem gentis suæ, librum super eórum conversatióne scripsit. Et
        quómodo Lucas narrat Jerosólymæ credéntes ómnia habuísse commúnia: sic et ille, quod
        Alexandríæ sub Marco fíeri doctóre cernébat, memóriæ trádidit. Mórtuus est autem octávo
        Nerónis anno, et sepúltus Alexandríæ, succedénte sibi Aniáno.

        Mark was the disciple and interpreter of Peter, and it was from what he had heard Peter
        tell, that, at the request of the brethren at Rome, he wrote the shortest of the Gospels.
        When Peter had heard it, he approved it, and gave it to the Church to be read, by his
        authority. Mark betook himself to Egypt, with the Gospel which he had compiled, and was
        the first man who preached Christ at Alexandria. There he founded a Church with such
        teaching and austerity of life, that all who followed Christ were constrained to imitate
        him.


        Last of all, Philo, that most learned Jew, observing that the first Church of Alexandria
        still kept the law of Moses, wrote a book concerning their manners, as if in praise of his
        own nation, wherein he saith that under the teaching of Mark, the Christians of Alexandria
        had all things in common, just as Luke telleth us was the case with all them that believed
        at Jerusalem. Mark died in the eighth year of Nero, and was buried at Alexandria. Anianus
        succeeded him.
