Tatian

Assyrian-born Christian apologist and writer.

Learned in Greek, he was converted to Christianity in Rome, and became a disciple of Justin Martyr. He wrote a number of works, of which The Discourse to the Greeks survives. More important is the Diatessaron, a harmony of the Four Gospels, written in Greek or in Syriac, which has been largely reconstructed from fragments and quotations.
