Exegesis
The prepositional phrase en to Esaia to prophete {ἐν τῷ Ἠσαΐᾳ τῷ προφήτῃ | en tō ē-sa-ï-a tō pro-phē-tē} uses a dative proper name with an appositional noun to identify Isaiah explicitly as a prophetic authority.
In context — Mark 1:2
Just as it has been written in Isaiah the prophet, “Behold, I am sending My messenger before your face, who will prepare your way.”
