Philo and the Pastorals
Francis Ryan Montgomery Hitchcock (1867-1951)
Hermathena, No. 56 (November, 1940), pp. 113-135

All his articles on JSTOR

Our conclusion is, that arguing from considerations of language and style, both the Paulines and the Pastorals are directly connected with the writings of Philo, and we may, therefore, assume are at least indirectly connected with one another.

Eusebius writting on Mark in Alexandria

Alexander, the bishop of Alexandria is similar referenced as residing here. So strong Markan pre-existence implications.

But what I just discovered going through PG 23 or 24 (I forget which) is by far the strongest yet for the pre-existence of Mark and dates Mark to Clement of Alexandria.

Since Eusebius places Mark as bringing the Gospel to Alexandria before going to Rome, I don't see how you have Eusebius dating Mark to c. 150 years later.

Without huge leaping bounds of mythicist conjectural extrapolation.

A little review.

Ecclesiastical History (Book II, Chapter 17), says that Philo met with Peter in Rome during the reign of Emperor Claudius.
