Chapter
XIV.—Tatian.
Tatian, however, similarly with Valentinus and the
others, says that there are certain invisible Æons, and that by
some one of these the world below has been created, and the things
existing
in it
. And he habituates himself to a very
cynical
1050
mode of life, and
almost in nothing differs from Marcion, as appertaining both to his
slanders, and the regulations enacted concerning
marriage.
1050
The
allusion here is to the shamelessness of the Cynics in regard to sexual
intercourse.
