Re: Is *Ev a source of the Gospel of the Ebionites?

If so it's better to think of *Ev as a common gospel and not a Marcionite gospel, but one everyone made use of which fits the idea Marcion adopted it into his canon and didn't write it this is a general outline, we don't know exactly what was in it unfortunately i doubt its possible to know even bas...
