Marqiyun

Marqiyun, founder of the Marcionite doctrine. Ibn al-Nadim says that he appeared in the first year of the reign of Titus Antoninus, about a hundred years before the appearance of Mani. ²

He had a gospel which he named, and his followers, the Marcionites, have a book particular to them, in which they write down their religion. They conceal themselves under Christianity, and there are many of them in Khurasan. ³
