Tradition. Alexandria is TRADITION ('they say', Eusebius II.16).
Papias says Mark was Peter's interpreter and wrote down his teaching. Eusebius records that Mark first preached in Egypt and founded the church of Alexandria; the Coptic church counts him its first patriarch. Venice claims his relics (from 828).
