Greek text · Dindorf 4:212

Ἐν τούτῳ καὶ Ῥόδων, γένος τῶν Ἀσίας, μαθητευθεὶς ἐπὶ Ῥώμης, ὡς αὐτὸς ἱστορεῖ, Τατιανῷ, ὃν ἐκ τῶν πρόσθεν ἔγνωμεν, διάφορα συντάξας βιβλία, μετὰ τῶν λοιπῶν καὶ πρὸς τὴν Μαρκίωνος παρατέτακται αἵρεσιν· ἣν καὶ εἰς διαφόρους γνώμας κατʼ αὐτὸν διαστᾶσαν ἱστορεῖ, τοὺς τὴν διάστασιν ἐμπεποιηκότας ἀναγράφων, ἐπʼ ἀκριβές τε τὰς παρʼ ἑκάστῳ τούτων ἐπινενοημένας διελέγχων ψευδολογίας.

English · Claude translation

At this time Rhodon also, an Asian by birth, who had been a disciple at Rome of Tatian (whom we have already come to know), composed various books, and among others arrayed himself against the heresy of Marcion. He relates that in his time it split into different opinions, recording those who had caused the division and refuting precisely the falsehoods devised by each of them.
