than mathetes who was a 2nd century christian in this letter to his friend diognetus he explains who the christians were and how they lived and worshipped for the christians are distinguished from other men neither by country nor language nor the customs which they observe for they neither inhabit cities of their own nor employ a peculiar form of speech nor lead a life which is marked out by any singularity but inhabiting greek as well as barbarian cities according as the lot of each of them has determined and following the customs of the natives in respect to clothing food and the rest
