Introductory Notice to Hippolytus.
[922] Or, “a fleshly membrane.”
[923] Miller reads, “of the third Æon.”
[924] The Abbe Cruice considers that the mention of the period of our Lord’s birth has accidentally dropt out of the ms. here. See book vii. chap. xix.
[925] Col. ii. 11, 14, 15.
[927] Miller’s text has “type.”
Chapter V.—Monoïmus; Man the Universe, According to Monoïmus; His System of the Monad.
[928] What is given here by Hippolytus respecting Monoïmus is quite new. The only writer that mentions him is Theodoret, Hær. Fab., i. 18. [See Bunsen, vol. i. p. 103.]
[929] Iliad, xiv. 201, 246.
[930] Or, “kinglessly,” which has no meaning here. Miller therefore alters ἀβασιλεύτως into ἀβουλήτως.
[931] An allusion is evidently made to the opening chapter of St. John’s Gospel. Monoïmus, like Basilides, seems to have formed his system from the prologue to the fourth Gospel.
Chapter VI.—Monoïmus’ “Iota;” His Notion of the “Son of Man.”
[932] The iota with a little mark placed above, signifies ten; thus, ι = 10.
Chapter VII.—Monoïmus on the Sabbath; Allegorizes the Rod of Moses; Notion Concerning the Decalogue.
[935] The plagues, being transformations, were no doubt considered symbols of creation, in accordance with the view of the ancient philosophers, that creation itself brought nothing into existence, but simply altered the disposition of already existing elements. [Gen. i. 2. See Dr. Chalmers’ Astronomical Discourses.]
[936] It is very much after this allegorical mode that Philo Judæus interprets the Mosaic law and history.
[937] [Exod. 12.17; 1 Cor. 5. 7,8.]
[939] Literally, “nobly born.”
[940] See [vol. i. pp. 353, 457. But see his works, vol. ii. p. 61, this series]; Irenæus, i. 28; Eusebius, Hist. Ecclesiast., iv. 16, v. 13; Epiphanius, Hær., xlvi.; Jerome, Vir. Illustr., c. xxix.; and Theodoret, Hær. Fab., i. 20.
[941] See [vol. iii. p. 257, also p. 477] Tertullian, Præscript., c. xxx.; [vol. iv. p. 245, this series] Origen, Περὶ ἀρχ., i. 2; Eusebius, De Præp., vii. 8, 9; St. Augustine, Hær., lix.; Theodoret, Hær. Fab., i. 19; and Philastrius, Hær., lv.
