Introduction, by the American Editor.

[6672] Otiosus.

Chapter VI.—Although Writing in Latin He Proposes to Retain the Greek Names of the Valentinian Emanations of Deity. Not to Discuss the Heresy But Only to Expose It. This with the Raillery Which Its Absurdity Merits.

[6673] Tam peregrinis.

[6674] Compactis.

[6675] Ut signum hoc sit.

[6676] Or stormed perhaps; expugnatio is the word.

[6677] Delibatione transfunctoria.

[6678] Ostendam vulnera.

[6679] Secura.

Chapter VII.—The First Eight Emanations, or Æons, Called the Ogdoad, are the Fountain of All the Others. Their Names and Descent Recorded.

[6680] Primus omnium.

[6681] Cœnacula: dining halls.

[6682] Supernitates supernitatum.

[6683] Ædicularum.

[6684] Meritorium.

[6685] This is perhaps a fair rendering of “Insulam Feliculam credas tanta tabulata cœlorum, nescio ubi.” “Insula” is sometimes “a detached house.” It is difficult to say what “Felicula” is; it seems to be a diminutive of Felix. It occurs in Arrian’s Epictetica as the name of a slave.

[6686] We follow Tertullian’s mode of designation all through. He, for the most part, gives the Greek names in Roman letters, but not quite always.

[6687] Expostulo: “I postulate as a first principle.”

[6688] Tertullian is responsible for this Latin word amongst the Greek names. The strange mixture occurs often.

[6689] Quadriga.

[6690] Factionis.

[6691] Ibidem simul.

[6692] Cellas.
