*Ev is not a homogeneous text. Gramaglia wrote about it and Vincent now claims it. Klinghardt tried to convince everyone that its sole author was an unknown ghostwriter, and Luke later continued working on the text. Works by Mason and Goldberg confirmed that *Ev is the work of Luke. Marcion did not have much choice as can be seen in Boismard's diagramMarcion made a choice of a product from the available resources. *Ev was the best and the rest were worse at that time.
- Perhaps. Perhaps not, i.e., perhaps Marcion was not aware of other 'resources', i.e., perhaps other 'resources,' if they even existed, were not available to him. And, afiak, we have no way of knowing how much he might have modified resources he might have acquired, e.g., I'm not aware of any tangible information that might show whether he 'acquired' *Ev or not (so, if not, 'he' or a group he was part of would have had to have produced it).
