And the very fact that we have two--or, including Irenaeus, even three--independent authorities, makes the text of Marcion's Gospel, so far as those authorities are available, or, in other words, for the greater part of it, instead of being uncertain among quite the most certain of all the achievements of modern criticism [Endnote 211:3].
This is seen practically--to apply a simple test--in the large amount of agreement between critics of the most various schools as to the real contents of the Gospel.

Our author indeed speaks much of the 'disagreement.' But by what standard does he judge?
Or, has he ever estimated its extent?
Putting aside merely verbal differences, the total number of whole verses affected will be represented in the following table:-- iv.

16-30: doubt as to exact extent of omissions affecting about half the verses.
38, 39: omitted according to Hahn; retained according to Hilgenfeld and Volkmar.
vii.

29-35: omitted, Hahn and Ritschl; retained, Hilgenfeld and Volkmar.
x.

12-15: ditto ditto.
xiii.
