From Tischendorf's list of thirteen Fathers, serious deductions have to be made.

Irenaeus and Victor of Antioch are clearly with the Textus Receptus.

Serapion, Titus, Basil do but borrow from Origen; and, with his argument, reproduce his corrupt text of St.Mark i.2.

The last-named Father however saves his reputation by leaving out the quotation from Malachi; so, passing directly from the mention of Isaiah to the actual words of that prophet.

Epiphanius (and Jerome too on one occasion[219]) does the same thing.
