Chapter IV

, vol. I. pp. 131 _sqq._

Footnote 274:

Epiphanius, _Haer._ XXVI. c. 13, p. 190, Oehler.

Footnote 275:

_Ibid._ p. 172, Oehler. Cf. the “Logia Jesu” published by the Egypt Exploration Fund in _Oxyrhynchus Papyri_, 1898, p. 3. “Wherever there are two, they are not without God, and wherever there is one alone, I say I am with him. Raise the stone, and there thou shalt find me, cleave the wood and there am I.”

Footnote 276:

_Pistis Sophia_, pp. 206, 230, Copt.

Footnote 277:

Grüber, _Die Ophiten_, Würzburg, 1864, pp. 173 _sqq._, points out that the Ophites, like the Valentinians, seem to have used the Peshitto or Syriac version of the Canonical Books for their quotations. He says the fact had been already noticed by Harvey. It is, of course, another indication of the Anatolian or Syrian origin of the sect.

Footnote 278:

Irenaeus, I. 28, c. 5, p. 237, Harvey, gives a list of the books which they assigned to each planetary power, Jaldabaoth taking the lion’s share with the Hexateuch, Amos and Habbakuk.

Footnote 279:

Hippolytus, _op. cit._ Bk V. c. 7, p. 150, Cruice. Proverbs xxiv. 16 seems the text referred to.

Footnote 280:

Hippolytus, _op. cit._ Bk V. c. 25, pp. 226, 227, Cruice. Sophia is evidently the serpent in this combination.

Footnote 281:

The Ebionites, or whatever other Judaeo-Christian sect is responsible for the _Clementines_, make St Peter affirm that Jesus “did not proclaim Himself to be God,” and that “that which is begotten cannot be compared with that which is unbegotten or self-begotten.” See _Clem. Hom._ XVI. cc. 15, 16.
