	Tatian - LoveToKnow 1911 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		It would also seem that Tatian believed in the existence of aeons, one of whom was the Demiurge of the world.
		Tatian insists that man is a free agent: that his sins and the consequent evils in the world are the result of free choice, and that the same free choice can remedy the evil.
		Tatian does not deny the stories of the Greek mythology - indeed he protests against any attempt to allegorize it - but he insists that these stories are the record of the deeds of demons and have no religious value.

	Tatian
		Tatian was an early Christian writer and theologian of the second century.
		Tatian was the first to give the Syriac congregations the Gospel in their own language.
		But Tatian was praised for his discussions of the antiquity of Moses and of Jewish legislation, and it was because of this chronological section that the "Address" was not generally condemned.

	Tatian - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Epiphanius relates that Tatian established a school in Mesopotamia, the influence of which extended to Antioch in Syria, and was felt in Cilicia and especially in Pisidia, but his assertion can not be verified.
		However as early as Eusebius, Tatian was praised for his discussions of the antiquity of Moses and of Jewish legislation, and it was because of this chronological section that his Oratio was not generally condemned.
		Tatian's influence can be detected much earlier in such Latin manuscripts as the Old Latin translation of the Bible, in Novatian's surviving writings, and in the Roman Antiphony.

	Tatian
		According to Epiphanius, Tatian went to the East after the death of Justin (circa 165), and then became heretical, and Eusebius states that he was recognized as heretical in 173.
		Zahn and most writers accept this as in the main correct; it is generally thought that his heresy was recognized in Rome, and it is suggested that this was the reason why he returned to the East.
		On the hypothesis that Tatian remained in Rome until the death of Justin it must have been written there: but on internal evidence Harnack thinks, probably correctly, that it was written in Greece, perhaps in Athens, and Tatian made at least one journey outside Rome before Justin's death.

	TATIAN'S ADDRESS TO THE GREEKS.
		Tatian’s Oratio ad Graecos (“Address to the Greeks”) is a heretical work written by a student of Justin Martyr who succumbed to Gnosticism and extreme asceticism in the late second century.
		Eusebius praised Tatian for his discussions of the antiquity of Moses and of Jewish legislation, and it was because of this chronological section that the Address to the Greeks is not universally condemned.
		Tatian, the patriarch of the Encratites, who himself rejected some of Paul's Epistles, believed this especially, that is [addressed] to Tires, ought to be declared to be the apostle's, thinking little of the assertion of Marcion and others, who agree with him on this point.--HIERON.: Proef.

		During Justin's life, Tatian remained in connection with the Catholic church ; but after Justin's death he embraced views of a Gnostic character, with which probably the notions imbibed during his early residence in the East disposed him to sympathize.
		Like Justin, Tatian engaged in controversies with the philosophers of his day, attacking them on the corruptions of heathenism, and pointing out the superiority of the Jewish and Christian religions.
		Tatian held the doctrine of Aeons, which he is said to have derived from Valentinusor Marcion (Philastrius, Haeres.x[vm.\ and to have given further development to it.

	Roberts-Donaldson Edition
		Tatian was an Assyrian (he tells us) and in such a country his extreme asceticism and encratism would not have been regarded as suspect.
		Theodoret goes on to allege that Tatian cut out the genealogies "and such other passages as show the Lord to have been born of the seed of David after the flesh." The inference is either that Tatian denied the humanity of Jesus or, more likely, that Jesus was not descended from Davidic.
		Consequently Tatian was under an inner compulsion to replace the four Gospels and their contradictions with a new document that would surpass all his sources and would avoid the criticisms of pagans and so-called Christian dissidents made on the basis of the existing Gospels.

	Supernatural Religion - Pt 2 Ch 8 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		After the death of Justin, Tatian, who till then had continued thoroughly orthodox, left Rome and joined the sect of the Encratites, of which, however, he was not the founder, and became the leading exponent of their austere and ascetic doctrines.
		Tatian is several times referred to in the course of the same chapter, and his words are continued by the use of phêsi or graphei, and it is in the highest degree improbable that Clement should introduce another quotation from him in such immediate context by the vague and distant reference, "a certain person" (tis).
		Tatian, however, is claimed as a witness for the existence of our Gospels, principally on the ground that he is said to have compiled a Gospel which was generally called Diatessaron (dia tessarôn) or "by four," and it is assumed that this was a harmony of our four Gospels.

		Malalas calls Tatian a chronographer, but he is evidently thinking of the chronological passages in his Oratio, and in the absence of all trustworthy testimony we must reject Rufinus’ notice as a mistake.
		The opinion seems a little peculiar, but was a not unnatural consequence of Tatian’s strong dualism, and of his doctrine of a conditional immortality for those who have been reunited with the Holy Spirit who took his departure at the time of the fall (cf.

		The Diatessaron of Tatian was a patchwork of the four Gospels, commencing with the preface of St. John.

	Tatian's Address to the Greeks
		Tatian was a pupil of Justin Martyr and author of the Diatessaron, a harmony of the four gospels.
		He was a hearer of Justin's, and as long as he continued with him he expressed no such views; but after his martyrdom he separated from the Church, and, excited and puffed up by the thought of being a teacher, as if he were superior to others, he composed his own peculiar type of doctrine.
		All therefore speak falsely who disallow his (Adam's) salvation, shutting themselves out from life for ever, in that they do not believe that the sheep which had perished has been found.

		Moreover, their high valuation of discipline, as an essential condition of self-preservation amid the fires of surrounding scorn and hatred, led them to practise, perhaps too sternly, upon offenders, what they often heroically performed upon themselves,-the amputation of the scandalous hand, or the plucking out of the evil eye.
		We learn from several sources that Tatian was an Assyrian, but know nothing very definite either as to the time or place of his birth.
		Epiphanius (Haer, xlvi.) declares that he was a native of Mesopotamia; and we infer from other ascertained facts regarding him, that he flourished about the middle of the second century.

		As to Tatian's Diatessaron, if it was composed in Syriac—which seems to be, if not the reality, at least the opinio communis—, it can be reconstructed only indirectly.
		To put it in his own words, "since Tatian's harmony was presumably the only gospel record available in the Syriac language at that time, the evidence points ineluctably to Diatessaronic influence" (17; see also 193: "Tatian's Diatessaron is the only Syriac text of the Synoptic tradition that could have been available to Thomas").

		Each of these three units belongs to a different kind of oratory (deliberative, judicial, epideictic), and they probably represent orations of the same kind which had been written before commitment to rhetoric, but it can also give an answer to the problem of the Orations coherence.
		The second question leads the discussion to Tatian's criticism of philosophy, whilst the third one deals with his criticism of rhetoric.
		The discussion of these questions makes it clear that Tatian does not virtually attack rhetoric itself but the Greeks who use it in a wrong and condemnable way.

		However, since we possess no direct descendents of the autograph Diatessaron, scholarship has been forced to attempt to reconstruct its text from the occasional conjunction of a miscellany of secondary and tertiary sources commonly called "witnesses" to the text of the Diatessaron.
		The answer must be "yes." Shedinger has not produced a shred of evidence to demonstrate that this was "the original text of Matthew," and not a redactional change made by Tatian, or, alternatively, a variant that arose in the third, fourth or even fifth century.

		They were interested in their find, but apparently did not recall what the Syrian Fathers could have told them, that Ephraim had commented on the Diatessaron of Tatian.
		The second of the manuscripts from which the Mechitarist fathers printed the commentary of Ephraim upon the Gospel contained more matter ascribed to the same Syrian father, and it is natural to inquire whether there may not be further interesting documents to be obtained from a mine which had already yielded up such rich treasure.
		Having been the first person to compile the Gospels into a Harmony, Tatian was certainly privy to the nuances of the earliest Christian doctrines.

		It is clear that Tatian was relying on a previous harmony, so perhaps his own contribution was quite minor.
		It is important to note that Tatian (ca 120-180?) was a disciple of Justin Martyr (100-165), and that it is generally agreed that Justin already possessed some sort of a harmony text.

		The relationship between GT and the Diatessaron is certainly not easy to explore, given the fact that the one survives in Coptic and the other only indirectly.
		There is no evidence provided to support the claim by showing how Tatian's text here may be reconstructed, so it is rather hard to evaluate it.
		Moreover, one would require a justification for the alternative explanation, that the logion was based directly on a version of Luke 10.8.
