You see this is just propaganda. Justin supposedly wrote a book thst no one quotes from. Even second hand.
There is nowhere in Justin a single statement about the texts used by Marcion or his own writings.
This is because there there weren't any.

Your claim is erroneous. You are just repeating the claims of others without invetigating the matter yourself.

It is the Pauline writings that did NOT exist during the time of Marcion.

Now, another apologetic source, Hippolytus, shows that Marcion did NOT use the Pauline writings but used Empedocles.

Refutation of All Heresies 7 We have three apologetic sources that did NOT mention the Pauline writings when they mentioned Marcion--Justin Martyr, Hippolytus and Ephraim the Syrian.

Justin Martyr appears to be corroborated by Hippolytus and Ephraim the Syrian.

Why does this contradict what I said?
I know that Justin never mentions Paul .
And I also know that he does not quote a single thing from any alleged writings of Marcion.
But how could Justin be corroborated by anyone else when unlike them allegedly, he knows nothing of Paul? Or GMark or someone named Empedocles of several centuries earlier?

Justin Martyr did Mention EMPEDOCLES. Justin Martyr is corroborated.

First Apology 18 Justin Martyr appears to be very credible and does not appear to have fabricated any characters or events found in his writings.

The Pauline writers are the reverse. They were False witnesses of a resurrected Jesus because the dead rise NOT.

Duvduv

OK, but he doesn't use Empedocles in relation to Marcion or Paul because Justin doesn't say anything about the texts used by Marcion, or anything about Paul like the others.
