anythingarian (n.)

"one indifferent to religious creeds, one 'that always make their interest the standard of their religion,'" 1704, originally dismissive, from anything on model of trinitarian, unitarian, etc.

Should it grammatically be "on the model of …", but for some reason, maybe being concise (because that is a online dictionary website), "the" is omitted?
