Appion (Greek: Ἀπίωνος, romanized: Apiōnos; fl. c. AD 196) was a Christian theologian of the late 2nd century.[1][2]
In Jerome's De viris illustribus, he writes that Appion lived during the reign of Septimius Severus (i.e. late 2nd century), and that he wrote on the topic of the six days of creation.[3] He is also mentioned by Eusebius for the same work.[4] It is likely that the writing was directed against the theology of Marcion.[5]
