Some more apocryphal traditions about Mark. The idea that Seth might educate the messiah sounds vaguely Sethian.

Quote:

Quant à Hannah, mère de saint Marc, elle se joignit secrètement aux saintes femmes qui furent témoins du crucifiement du Sauveur et apportèrent des parfums à son tombeau. Lorsque saint Marc fut devenu un peu grand, Hannah confia l'éducation de l'enfant aux soins du frère de sa mère, afin de lui faire apprendre les sciences divines et les sciences humaines ; or, le nom de son oncle maternel était Setho

As for Hannah, mother of Mark, she secretly joined the holy women who witnessed the crucifixion of Christ and brought incense to his tomb. When St. Mark had become a little older, Hannah entrusted the education of the child to the care of his mother's brother, to make him learn the divine sciences and the humanities, yet the name of his maternal uncle was Setho
