Person
Tatian
later second century
Pupil of Justin, author of the Diatessaron
Attested. The Diatessaron is certain. The extent of his 'Encratite' break with the mainstream is less so.
Tatian compiled the Diatessaron, a single narrative woven from the four gospels, which was used for a long time in Syriac churches. He also wrote an Oration to the Greeks. Later writers accused him of rejecting marriage and wine. Those charges may mix his real asceticism with heresiological stereotype.
