The Seventh Proof that Clement of the Alexandrian See of St. Mark Was a Prominent Leader of the Tradition Irenaeus Identifies as 'Marcosian'

7. Irenaeus writes of the Marcosians that they claim that "the pronunciation of His (i.e. God's) name took place as follows:--He spoke the first word of it, which was the beginning, and that utterance consisted of four letters. He added the second, and this also consisted of four letters." [AH i.14.1]

Clement of Alexandria writes that "there is the veil of the entrance into the holy of holies. Four pillars there are, the sign of the sacred tetrad of the ancient covenants. Further, the mystic name of four letters which was affixed to those alone to whom the adytum was accessible, is called Jave, which is interpreted, "Who is and shall be." The name of God, too, among the Greeks contains four letters." [Stromata v.6]
