Introductory Notice to Hippolytus.
[488] See Oracula Sibyllina Fragm., ii. ver. 1.
[489] περασαι; hence their name Peratics, i.e., Transcendentalists. Bunsen considers, however, that such a derivation as this was not the true one (see note 1, p. 60), but merely an after-thought. The title of one of the Peratic treatises, as altered by Bunsen from Οἱ προάστειοι ἕως αιθέρος into Οἱ Περάται ἕως αἰθέρος, i.e., “the Transcendental Etherians,” would agree with their subsequent assumption of this title. [Bunsen, i. p. 37.]
[490] Ex. iv. 2-4, 17; vii. 9-13.
[491] Or, “they say.”
[499] The Abbe Cruise thinks that Hippolytus is here quoting from the Gospel of Eve (see Epiph., Hær., xxvi. 2).
[500] ἄκρᾳ: this is a conjectural reading instead of ἀρχῇ.
[501] Aratus, Phænom., v. 62.
[502] Ibid., v. 46.
Chapter XII.—Compendious Statement of the Doctrines of the Peratæ.
[507] There is a hiatus here. Miller, who also suggests διαφέρει instead of μεταφέρει supplies the deficiency as translated above. The Abbe Cruice fills up the hiatus by words taken from a somewhat similar passage in the third chapter of book viii., but the obscurity still remains. Miller thinks there is a reference to Isa. vi. 10.
[508] This theory has been previously alluded to by Hippolytus in the last chapter of book iv.
