Introductory Notice to Hippolytus.
[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.
[825] [Foretaste of Cent. IV.] Miller’s text has, instead of τοῦ οὐκ ὄντος (non-existent), οικοῦντος (who dwells above).
Chapter XI.—The “Great Archon” Of Basilides.
[827] Or, “unspeakable power.”
[828] Or, “was produced unto.”
Chapter XII.—Basilides Adopts the “Entelecheia” Of Aristotle.
[829] Miller’s text has “the soul,” which Duncker and Cruice properly correct into “body.”
[830] Μεγαλειότητος, a correction from μεγάλης.
[831] A correction from “Arrhetus.”
[832] This passage is very obscure, and is variously rendered by the commentators. The above translation follows Schneidewin’s version, which yields a tolerably clear meaning.
Chapter XIII.—Further Explanation of the “Sonship.”
