Introductory Notice to Hippolytus.
[1587] τρίβολος. [Also the Pindaric citation in my note, vol. i. 74.]
[1588] In the Parallela is inserted here the word ἐπιγελῶντες, deriding them.
[1589] γέεννα.
[1590] According to the reading in Parallela, which inserts ξανθὴν = red.
[1591] The text reads καὶ οὗ, and where. But in Parallela it is καὶ οὗτοι = and these see, etc. In the same we find ὡς μήτε for καὶ τοὺς δικαίους.
[1592] [It would be hard to frame a system of belief concerning the state of the dead more entirely exclusive of purgatory, i e., a place where the souls of the faithful are detained till (by Masses and the like) they are relieved and admitted to glory, before the resurrection. See vol. iii. p. 706.]
[1593] μετενσωματῶν, in opposition to the dogma of metempsychosis.
[1594] In the Timæus.
[1595] The first of the two fragments in the Parallela ends here.
[1596] [The text Eccles. xi. 3 may be accommodated to this truth, but seems to have no force as proof.]
[1597] The second fragment extant in the Parallela begins here.
[1599] [It is not the unrighteous, be it remembered, who go to “purgatory,” according to the Trent theology, but only true Christians, dying in full communion with the Church. Hippolytus is here speaking of the ultimate doom of the wicked, but bears in mind the imagery of Luke xvi. 24 and the appeal to Abraham.]
[1600] The second fragment in the Parallela ends here.
[1601] ἐκβρασσομένη.
Against the Heresy of One Noetus.
[1603] Gallandi, p. 454.
[1604] That Noetus was a native of Smyrna is mentioned also by Theodoret, book iii. Hæret Fab., c. iii., and Damascenus, sec. lvii. (who is accustomed to follow Epiphanius); and yet in Epiphanius, Hæres., 57, we read that Noetus was an Asian of the city of Ephesus (᾽Ασιανον τῆς ᾽Εφέσου πόλεως). (Fabricius.)
[1605] Epiphanius says that Noetus made his heresy public about 130 years before his time (οὐ πρὸ ἐτῶν πλειόνων ἀλλ᾽ ὡς πρὸ χρόνου τῶν τουτων ἑκατὸν τριάκοντα, πλείω ἢ ἐλάσσω); and as Epiphanius wrote in the year 375, that would make the date of Noetus about 245. He says also that Noetus died soon after (ἔναγχος), along with his brother. (Fabricius.)
[1606] So also Epiphanius and Damascenus. But Philastrius, Heresy, 53, puts Elijah for Aaron: hic etiam dicebat se Moysem esse, et fratrem suum Eliam prophetam.
[1607] Epiphanius remarks that they were but ten in number.
