Introduction, by the American Editor.

[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.

Chapter X.—Another Account of the Strange Aberrations of Sophia, and the Restraining Services of Horus. Sophia Was Not Herself, After All, Ejected from the Pleroma, But Only Her Enthymesis.

[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.]

Chapter XI.—The Profane Account Given of the Origin of Christ and the Holy Ghost Sternly Rebuked. An Absurdity Respecting the Attainment of the Knowledge of God Ably Exposed.

[6733] Ille nus.

[6734] Iterum: above.

[6735] Copulationem: The profane reference is to Christ and the Spirit.

[6736] [A shocking reference to the Spirit which I modify to one of the Divine Persons.]

[6737] Vulneratur.
