Augustine of Hippo, on Mark 15:20

“And after they had mocked him, they took off the purple from him, and put his own garments on him, and they led him out to crucify him.”

“(de Con. Evan. iii. 11) This we must understand to be what Matthew expresses by, mixed with gall; for he put gall for any thing bitter, and wine mingled with myrrh is most bitter; although there may have been both gall and myrrh to make the wine most bitter.”
