to Rhodon. ^[3717]

[a.d. 180.] This Rhodon ^[3718] was supposed by St. Jerome to have been the author of the work against the Cataphrygians, ascribed to Asterius Urbanus more probably. ^[3719] Eusebius ^[3720] gives us the fragment from his work against Marcion, addressed to Callistion, which is here translated. He tells us that he was a pupil of Tatian, and expresses an intention of furnishing original solutions of Scriptural problems stated by Tatian, ^[3721] and by that author explained in a manner apparently unsatisfactory. He also appears to have written against the blasphemous Apelles, ^[3722] whose Hexaëmeron was an attempt to refute Moses; but whether he also fulfilled his promise concerning an 'Epilusis of Tatian's Problems (or Questions), seems doubtful. Routh has devoted to the fragment here translated six pages of notes, ^[3723] which he subjoins to the Greek text (of Eusebius) and a Latin version of the same.
