[201]. ἐκ τῶν σωμάτων τῶν χοϊκῶν ἀναγεννηθέντες πνευματικοὶ οὐ σαρκικοί “being born again from the earthly body, not as fleshly but as spiritual men”.... Οἱ δὲ αὐτοί, φησί, Φρύγες τὸν αὐτὸν πάλιν ἐκ μεταβολῆς λέγουσι θεόν. “Fοr the Phrygians themselves declare, he says, that he who is thus reborn is by reason of the change a god,” Hippolytus, op. cit. Bk V. c. 8, pp. 165, 166, Cruice. Cf. Berger, Études, etc. p. 27.
[202]. τῶν ἐπουρανίων καὶ ἐπιγείων καὶ καταχθονίων.
[203]. τὴν ἀσυμφωνίαν τοῦ κόσμον.
[204]. Hippolytus, op. et loc. cit. p. 165, Cruice.
[205]. The Naassene writer says that the peace preached “to those that are afar off” of Ephesians ii. 17, refers to τοῖς ὑλικοῖς καὶ χοϊκοῖς “to the material and earthly,” and that “to those that are near” to τοῖς πνευματικοῖς καὶ νοεροῖς τελείοις ἀνθρώποις “to the spiritual and understanding perfect men.” Hippolytus, op. et loc. cit.

[207]. Cum accepisset concupiscentiam superioris luminis, et virtutem sumpsisset per omnia, deposuisse corpus et liberatam ab eo. Irenaeus, Bk I. c. 28, p. 229, Harvey. As he goes on to say: Corpus autem hoc exuisse dicunt eam, foeminam a foemina nominant, it is plain that he is here referring to the Third or Lower Sophia who was one of the personages in the Valentinian drama and unknown, so far as we can tell, to the Ophites. The Latin translator is no doubt responsible for this confusion.
[208]. That this was the object of Ialdabaoth in creating Eve is plain from Irenaeus’ Latin text (Bk I. c. 28, p. 233, Harvey): Zelantem autem Ialdabaoth voluisse excogitare evacuare hominem per foeminam, et de sua Enthymesi eduxisse foeminam, quam illa Prunicos suscipiens invisibiliter evacuavit a virtute. He then goes on to relate the seduction of the archons which plays so large a part in the Enochian literature, and which is made Sophia’s contrivance for nullifying the command to “Increase and multiply” in Genesis.
