Mark 1:2 evn tw|/ VHsai<a| tw|/ profh,th| {A}

The quotation in verses Mark 1:2 and Mark 1:3 is composite, the first part being from Malachi 3:1 and the second part from Isaiah 40:3. It is easy to see, therefore, why copyists would have altered the words “in Isaiah the prophet” (a reading found in the earliest representative witnesses of the Alexandrian and the Western types of text) to the more comprehensive introductory formula “in the prophets.”
