A further reason to think that *Ev preceded Mark is that Pilate has to be fully enumerated among the 'favorable references to Samaria and Samaritans' introduced by Cerdo:
So, although I think Cerdo knew and used proto-Mark, he decided to try his hand at turning it into something more extensive. His hand would be responsible, for instance, for all the favorable references to Samaria and Samaritans that still remain in the central section of canonical Luke.
