Introductory Notice to Hippolytus.
[1031] [Important corroborations of Justin and other Fathers, vol. i. p. 286; ii. p. 338, also 81, 117, 148.]
[1032] Thus Plato’s “Laws” present many parallels to the writings of Moses. Some have supposed that Plato became acquainted with the Pentateuch through the medium of an ancient Greek version extant prior to that of the Septuagint.
Chapter XXV.—The Jewish Religion.
[1033] Or, “the law not of yesterday,” οὑ νεωστὶ τὸν νόμον. Cruice reads θεόκτιστον, as rendered above.
[1034] [This word is an index of authenticity. See on the “Little Labyrinth,” Bunsen, i. p. 243, and Wordsworth, pp. 100, 161, and his references to Routh, Lardner, etc.]
Chapter II.—Summary of the Opinions of Philosophers.
[1035] Hippolytus in what follows is indebted to Sextus Empiricus.—Adv. Phys., x.
[1036] See Karst., Fragm., viii. 45.
Chapter III.—Summary of the Opinions of Philosophers Continued.
[1037] Iliad, xiv. 201.
[1038] Ibid., vii. 99.
[1039] See Karst., Fragm., ix. p. 46.
[1040] Fabricius, in his Commentary on Sextus Empiricus, considers that this is a quotation from the Hymns of Euripides.
[1041] V. 55–57, ed. Karst.
[1042] V. 106, 107, ed. Karst.
[1043] [See De Legibus, lib. x., and note xii. p. 119, Tayler Lewis’ Plato against the Atheists.]
[1044] Cruice supplies from Theodoret: “and the second which is good is self-begotten, and the third is generated.”
[1046] ἀφίεται εἰκῇ: Bernays proposes ὀφιοειδῆ, i.e., being of the form of the serpent.
[1047] The commentators refer us to Ps. xxix. 3.
[1049] This section differs considerably from what Hippolytus has already stated concerning Valentinus. [“Sige,” vol. i. p. 62, note 5.]
[1050] The allusion here is to the shamelessness of the Cynics in regard to sexual intercourse.
Chapter XV.—Marcion and Cerdo.
[1051] The account here given of Cerdon and Marcion does not accurately correspond with that already furnished by Hippolytus of these heretics.
