On the Gospel of 'Those of Mark' and the Number Eight
Irenaeus on the Marcosians and the number eight "Moreover, that circumcision which took place on the eighth day, represented the circumcision of the Ogdoad above. In a word, whatever they find in the Scriptures capable of being referred to the number eight, they declare to fulfil the mystery of the Ogdoad." [AH i.18.3]
