While I can't speak to the original author (as I'm partial to a proto-Mark per Burkett and see the didactic scene in Mark 13 as potentially being a post-70 CE interpolation providing explanation of a more generic saying in 13:1-2), there's evidence of LXX use in Mark 13:14's "abomination of desolation":
...βδέλυγμα των ερημώσεων...
Daniel 9:27 in the LXX
...βδέλυγμα τῆς ἐρημώσεως...
Mark 13:14
Given the ambiguity of the original Hebrew in Daniel 9:27, that the author (or here redactor) of Mark is following the LXX here to arrive at this specific wording seems probable.

Did the original author(s) of Mark Gospel use the Septuagint? If so what evidence do we have from the text that is true? | Spyke
