Introductory Notice to Hippolytus.
[804] What Hippolytus now states in regard of the opinions of Basilides, is quite new (compare Irenæus, i. 24; Clemens Alexandrinus, Strom., iii. and vii.; Tertullian, Præscript., xlvi.; Epiphanius, Hær., xxiv.; Theodoret, i. 4; Eusebius, Ecclesiast. Hist., iv. 7; and Philastrius, c. xxxii.). Abbe Cruice refers us to Basilidis philosophi Gnostici Sententiæ, by Jacobi (Berlin, 1852), and to Das Basilidianische System, etc., by Ulhorn (Gottingen, 1855).
Chapter III.—Sketch of Aristotle’s Philosophy.
[805] Or, “dispositions.”
Chapter IV.—Aristotle’s General Idea.
[806] Compare Porphyry’s Isagoge, c. ii., and Aristotle’s Categ., c. v.
Chapter VI.—Substance, According to Aristotle; The Predicates.
[807] Aristotle’s Categ., c. v.
[808] Or, “is sufficient.”
[809] Or, “the question is discussed.”
[810] [This word, not yet technical, as with us, is thus noted as curious. Of its force see Professor Caird, Encyc. Britannic., sub voce “Metaphysic.”]
[811] See Aristotle, De Anim., ii. 1.
[812] Literally, “out of tune.”
[813] These works must be among Aristotle’s lost writings (see Fabricius’ Bibl. Græc., t. iii. pp. 232, 404). We have no work of Aristotle’s expressly treating “of God.” However, the Stagyrite’s theology, such as it is, is unfolded in his Metaphysics. See Macmahon’s analysis prefixed to his translation of Aristotle’s Metaphysics, Bohn’s Classical Library.
[814] Aristotle composed three treatises on ethical subjects: (1) Ethics to Nicomachus; (2) Great Morals; (3) Morals to Eudemus.
[815] Miller erroneously reads “Matthew.”
[816] (See Bunsen, i. v. 86. A fabulous reference may convey a truth. This implies that Matthias was supposed to have preached and left results of his teachings.]
Chapter IX.—Basilides Adopts the Aristotelian Doctrine of “Nonentity.”
[817] This emendation is made by Abbe Cruice. The ms. has “incomposite,” an obviously untenable reading.
Chapter X.—Origin of the World; Basilides’ Account of the “Sonship.”
[818] Or, “of what sort of material substance,” etc.
[820] Or, “being declared.”
[821] John i. 9. [See translator’s important note (1), p. 7, supra.]
[822] Literally, “throbbed.”
[823] Odyssey, vii. 36.
[824] See Plato, vol. i. p. 75 et seq., ed. Bekker. Miller has “Phædo;” an obvious mistake.
