The paucity of manuscripts, alongside the relative absence of information about the text of Mark in the early period, is something that distinguishes the text of Mark from that of the other three canonical gospels. The only pre-fourth century manuscript of Mark is P45. Nevertheless, a good case can be made that our fourth-century witnesses represent copies of a well preserved early text of Mark, and that the more free forms of the text (such as P45) could be derived from such a text.
