suffice(d) (it) to say

[Gordon, Matthew J.]

I know the idiom as "suffice it to say" and I've heard "suffice to say" but I saw "sufficed to say" in a blog today which was a new one for me. It's not quite an eggcorn but something maybe. It's not in Brians's list of errors. Interestingly when I googled on "sufficed to say" the first result I came up with was a query about which is the right form with some nice reasoning:

Quote: 

"sufficed to say"
"suffice to say"
"suffice it to say"

i've seen all three. are any improper usages? if not, do they all mean exactly the same thing?

i know that 'sufficed' is an actual word, so i just assumed that the first phrase was correct and the other two were created through knowing the phrase but putting it to paper improperly. but then i saw the third one in an advertisement on the el, so i guess that one's correct too?

fucking english language
