Kata Markon

["Bruce Griffin" <brucewgriffin AT hotmail.com>]

This is a plausible enough reconstruction. And if it were intended in part 
as authorial self-identification, then it would help explain why Luke and 
Matthew omit the episode.  But I would be grateful for references as to "an 
existing pattern of anonymous self-identification" in literature.  A 
convincing list of examples here would greatly strengthen your case.

Cordially,
