{{summary | text=The Epistle of Mathetes to Diognetus is an early writing defending [[Christianity]] from its accusers. The [[Greek]] writer and recipient are not otherwise known, but the language and other textual evidence dates the work to the late 2nd century; "Mathetes" is not a proper name; it simply means "a disciple." A Diognetus was a tutor of the emperor [[Marcus Aurelius]], who admired him for his freedom from superstition and sound educational advice, but he may not have been the recipient.}}
