Tatian

Such ambiguity appears in an alternative form in the so-called Address Against the Greeks (Πρὸς Ἕλληνας) of Tatian, a disciple of Justin Martyr at Rome who was born in ‘Assyria’ (the region across the Euphrates) and eventually, at some point after Justin’s martyrdom, returned there to teach. The most plausible date for this work is slightly after the popular rising against Christians at Lyon and Vienne in Gaul (c. 177), in the course of which Marcus Aurelius approved the execution of Christians who were Roman citizens.
