Introduction, by the American Editor.
[6712] Oehler reads, “hetæri (ἑταῖροι) et syntrophi.” Another reading, supported by Rigaltius, is “sterceiæ,” instead of the former word, which gives a very contemptuous sense, suitable to Tertullian’s irony.
[6713] Exceptio.
[6714] Tertullian has, above, remarked on the silent and secret practices of the Valentinians: see chap. i. p. 503.
[6715] In hunc derivaret.
[6716] Sed enim.
[6717] De Patre.
[6718] Præ vi dulcedinis et laboris.
[6719] It is not easy to say what is the meaning of the words, “Et in reliquam substantiam dissolvi.” Rigaltius renders them: “So that whatever substance was left to her was being dissolved.” This seems to be forcing the sentence unnaturally. Irenæus (according to the Latin translator) says: “Resolutum in universam substantiam,” “Resolved into his (the Father’s) general substance,” i. 2, 2. [Vol. I. p. 317.]
[6720] Illius.
[6721] So Grabe; but Reaper, according to Neander.
[6722] Animationem.
[6723] Exitum.
[6724] Uti quæ.
[6725] Comp. Aristotle, Hist. Anim. vi. 2; Pliny, H. N. x. 58, 60.
[6726] Ratione.
[6727] Exitus.
[6728] In hæc: in relation to the case of Sophia.
[6729] Above, in chap. viii. we were told that Nus, who was so much like the Father, was himself called “Father.”
[6730] In censu.
[6731] Appendicem.
[6732] Literally, “infirm fruit and a female,” i.e. “had not shared in any male influence, but was a purely female production.” See our Irenæus, i. 4. [Vol. I. p. 321.]
