Excerpt from The Diatessaron of Tatian: A Preliminary Study
But this assumed liability to change, while it may be regarded theoretically as inevitable, requires to be carefully estimated by the practical comparison of the Arabic form with such portions as may be current in earlier periods, or with other Harmonies which may be traced back into the same root with it. This requires a study, in the first place, of the general descriptions given by the earlier fathers of the Diatessaron as known, more or less completely, to them; and, secondly, of the portions of the text of the New Testament current in early patristic writings which with any degree of probability are assumed to be derived from or closely related to the Harmony.
