In Greece, he encountered an Ionian theologian, who has been identified as Athenagoras of Athens ; while in the east, he was taught by an Assyrian, sometimes identified with Tatian, and a Jew, who was possibly Theophilus of Caesarea.

Tatian was an Assyrian who was a pupil of Justin Martyr in Rome, where, Justin says, the apomnemoneumata ( recollections or memoirs ) of the Apostles, the gospels, were read every Sunday.

It is equally unclear whether Tatian took the Syriac Gospel texts composited into his Diatessaron from a previous translation, or whether the translation was his own.

Tatian was one of his pupils.

In the reign of Marcus Aurelius, after disputing with the cynic philosopher Crescens he was denounced by the latter to the authorities, according to Tatian ( Address to the Greeks 19 ) and Eusebius ( HE IV 16. 7-8 ).

Hippolytus claims that Monoimus was a follower of Tatian, and that his cosmological system was derived from that of the Pythagoreans, which indeed seems probable.

On the other hand, Vanderbilt Professor Kathy L. Gaca ( The Making of Fornication: Eros, Ethics, and Political Reform in Greek Philosophy and Early Christianity, University of California Press, 2003 ) promotes a view of Epiphanes as one of the voices in early Christianity who held a positive and liberationist view of sexual pleasure, and who was among those like him who were ultimately silenced by the victorious sex-negative leadership represented by Clement of Alexandria, Tatian, Ambrose, Jerome and Augustine.

In Early Christian writings it is used to denote " being " or " substantive reality " and is not always distinguished in meaning from ousia ( essence ); it was used in this way by Tatian and Origen, and also in the anathemas appended to the Nicene Creed of 325.

The Diatessaron ( c 160 – 175 ) is the most prominent Gospel harmony created by Tatian, an early Christian apologist and ascetic.

* Discourse to the Greek ( Oratio ad Graecos ), by the Syrian Tatian, is the first treatise on the evils of paganism in Christian literature.

Prominent early Christian figures have lived in and emerged from this region such as Tatian the Assyrian who came to Edessa from Hadiab ( Adiabene ).

The apologist and ascetic Tatian had previously harmonized the four gospels into a single narrative, the Diatesseron ( c 150-160 ).

The earliest mention of Justin is found in the Oratio ad Graecos by Tatian, who calls him " the most admirable Justin ," quotes a saying of his, and says that the Cynic Crescens laid snares for him.

The author of the smaller treatise To the Greeks cannot be Justin, because he is dependent on Tatian ; Harnack places it between 180 and 240.

There are echoes in Justin Martyr, Tatian, Theophilus of Antioch, Cyprian, and Lactantius.

Exceptions to this positive witness include Tatian, a disciple of Justin Martyr turned heretic, as well as the Gnostic Basilides.
