, a native of Asia, instructed in
the Scriptures at Rome by Tatian whom we mentioned above, published
many things especially a work Against Marcion in which he tells
how the Marcionites differ from one another as well as from the church
and says that the aged Apelles, another heretic, was once engaged in a
discussion with him, and that he, Rhodo, held Apelles up to ridicule
because he declared that he did not know the God whom he worshipped. He
mentioned in the same book, which he wrote to Callistion, that he had
been a pupil of Tatian at Rome. He also composed elegant treatises
On the six days of creation and a notable work against the Phrygians. He flourished in the reigns of Commodus and Severus.
