whereas of Christians the following holds good (c. 32): [Greek: logou
tou demosiou kai epigeiou kechorismenoi kai peithomenoi theou
parangelmasi kai nomo patros aphtharsias hepomenoi, pan to en doxe
keimenon anthropine paraitoumetha].]

[Footnote 391: C. 31. init.: [Greek: he hemetera philosophia]. 32 (p.
128): [Greek: hoi boulomenoi philosophein par' hemin anthropoi]. In c.
33 (p. 130) Christian women are designated [Greek: hai par hemin
philosophousai]. C. 35: [Greek: he kath' hemas barbaros philosophia]. 40
(p. 152): [Greek: hoi kata Mousea kai homoios auto philosophountes]. 42:
[Greek: ho kata barbarous philosophon Tatianos]. The [Greek: dogmata] of
the Christians: c. 1 (p. 2), 12 (p. 58), 19 (p. 86), 24 (p. 102), 27 (p.
108), 35 (p. 138), 40, 42. But Tatian pretty frequently calls
Christianity "[Greek: he hemetera paideia]", once also "[Greek:
nomothesia]" (12; cf. 40: [Greek: hoi hemeteroi nomoi]), and often
[Greek: politeia].]

[Footnote 392: See, e.g., c. 29 fin.: the Christian doctrine gives us
[Greek: ouch hoper me elabomen, all' hoper labontes hupo tes planes
echein ekoluthemen].]

[Footnote 393: Tatian gave still stronger expression than Justin to the
opinion that it is the demons who have misled men and rule the world,
and that revelation through the prophets is opposed to this demon rule;
see c. 7 ff. The demons have fixed the laws of death; see c. 15 fin. and
elsewhere.]

[Footnote 394: Tatian also cannot at bottom distinguish between
revelation through the prophets and through Christ. See the description
of his conversion in c. 29. where only the Old Testament writings are
named, and c. 13 fin., 20 fin.. 12 (p. 54) etc.]

[Footnote 395: Knowledge and life appear in Tatian most closely
connected. See, e.g., c. 13 init.: "In itself the soul is not immortal,
but mortal; it is also possible, however, that it may not die. If it has
not attained a knowledge of that truth it dies and is dissolved with the
body; but later, at the end of the world, it will rise again with the
body in order to receive death in endless duration as a punishment. On
the contrary it does not die, though it is dissolved for a time, if it
is equipped with the knowledge of God."]

[Footnote 396: Barbarian: the Christian doctrines are [Greek: ta ton
barbaron dogmata] (c. 1): [Greek: kath' hemas barbaros philosophia] (c.
35); [Greek: he barbarike nomothesia] (c. 12); [Greek: graphai
barbarikai] (c. 29); [Greek: kainotomein ta barb
