Two Epithets of Mark the Evangelist: Coptic <i>theorimos</i> and Byzantine Greek θεόπτης
This Coptic epithet, understood as “beholder of God,” has no known Greek origin: it may be a corruption of θεορρήμων, said of Mark, which came to be misspelled as <em>theorimos</em> and taken to convey the Greek θεόπτης.
