| Summary: | It is some years since Professor R. M. Grant published in this review an article on the above topic [46(1953), 99ff.]. In it he advanced an attractively neat and confident case for solving the long-debated question of the dating of Tatian's Oration. It was written, he concludes, “after the year 176, perhaps in 177 or 178,” and this conclusion he draws from straightforward internal evidence: Or. 23.2 alludes to events of 172/3, 19.1 to those of 176, and 6.2 probably to those of 177. The purpose of this note is plainly negative; it is merely to introduce a note of hesitant scepticism into Professor Grant's confident claim. |
