... two new attestations (add it to the long list) for the "Long Ending of Mark" :
Palladius of Ratiara (4th century) and Romanos the Melodist (6th century)

PALLADIUS : he says that in the gospel of Mark it is written (so and so from the long ending)

ROMANOS : In his hymn for the mission of the apostles, he uses the same wording of Mark 16.15 "poreuthentes eis panta ton kosmon" / "poreuthentes eis ton kosmon hapanta"

Thanks ! (Karim al-Hanifi from Belgium and France)

The scholar Roger Gryson is supposed to have found a quotation from the fourth-century Arian writer Palladius of Ratiaria in a little-known manuscript, Ms. Lat. Parisinus 8907. (published by F. Kaufmann in 1899.) The quotation is from somewhere in Mark 16:9-20 [Edit: Mark 16:19].
Our task: (1) test Gryson's claim that Palladius made this quotation, (2) ascertain what the quotation is, in Latin, and (3) translate the quotation from Palladius in English and (if possible) summarize the setting in which it was given.

====================================

same century of a lot of Uncials, the 9th. Ibrahim at-Tabarani tells us in a debate with muslims, that christians can consume poison and have nothing....its a clear reference to the Long Ending of Mark in Arabic in the ninth century and earlier because the text spokes about an earlier debate.

Its another witness for Tatian's Diatessaron !

If the long ending of Mark is not accepted in textual criticism as authentic (not automaticaly from Mark, but before the final edition, diffusion and transmission), none of the variant readings can be. BECAUSE if we take all the evidences, i am not aware of any of the important variant readings of the NT to have this support of witnesses.
We have seen that 99.5%, if not more, of all the manuscript traditions (versions, patristic, and so on) have the long ending of Mark.
We have seen that the manuscript of almost all the church fathers from 2nd century to the last one of them (fathers) have this long ending.
We have seen that the argument of the hapax of the long ending was definitly burried forever in 2020 by Karim al-Hanifi on academia
We have seen...
We have seen...
...
So in term of textual criticism, it is very hard to say that this long ending is not authentic (in terms of external evidences of the textual criticism. For internal, we can have a debate but for the external : case closed from my point of view.
Sorry i am a french speaker, so my english is not very good ^^ but i understand it very well.
