The evidence of Iben^us and Hippolytus is quite of TTorirjpiov, where the reader may consult the note.

The translator read iror^ptov sufficient strength to fix a charge of imposture upon Marcus, and Neander's otvip KeKpap.h>ov.

Hippolytus says no thing of wine being mixed in the cup, and the juggle would be spoiled by its defence of the heretic fails to satisfy the judgment.

He says, Die Abendpresence ; it is therefore highly probable that Marcus adopted the practice of mahlsfeier verbanden sie (Marcosii) mit symbolischen, auf ihre Lehre von der Erlosung sich beziehenden Gebraiithe Hydroparastato, or followers of Tatian, who used only water, where Christ ordained the use of wine, as Clem. Al. says, Strom.
