Fragment number Vinzent 90
Klostermann 75
Ancient source used Eusebius, Ecclesiastical Theology 2.19
Modern edition M. Vinzent, Markell von Ankyra: Die Fragmente (Leiden, 1997).

He himself confesses, “The father is in me and I am in the father” (John 10:38). That he did not say this simple-mindedly nor inconsiderately is clear also from another apostolic saying “One Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father,” he says, who is “over all and through all and in all” (Ephesians 4:5-6). You see that here he [the Apostle] does not distance himself from this concord, but also here he has experienced the same. For he says “One Lord” and again “one God,” so that whenever he makes mention of the one Lord he includes the Father as well, and whenever he speaks about the Father, he testifies that the Logos is not outside of God.
