But the opening of the epistle begins as 16.26 ends with "to

Interesting question. Though it's very common, it strikes me as hasty to assume that a secondary interpolation wouldn't cohere well with its "host" text. Must we suppose that all scribes in the second and subsequent Christians generations were insensitive, and only clumsy botchers would have attempted an interpolation? Bart Ehrman has a nice argument that hYIOS QEOU in Mark 1:1 is an anti-adoptionist addition to the text, but it fits very nicely with Marcan Christology. On the other hand, it's also unconvincing that any time we meet a paragraph that presents an inconsistency (much less an offense to current sensibilities), it must be a gloss. I'd be glad to see a bit more caution in all such pronouncements, whether affirming or denying an interpolation.
