From leaving out Cain as joint progenitor of mankind, and deriving
      all the human race from _Seth_, they seem to have been called
      SETHITES.

I. xxx. 9.

These were, no doubt, Jaldabaoth and his six descendants, who (§ 5)
      are called _heavens_, and are likewise spoken of as _per ordinem
      sedentes in cœlo, secundum generationem ipsorum_.

I. xxx. 12.

Ibid. 12, 13.

I. xxx. 14.

I imagine this to be the meaning of _Christo sedente_; _sedeo_ being
      taken in a transitive sense. Ἰδρύομαι was probably the original
      word.

I. xxx. 14.

Tertull. _de Præscr._ 7. 30. Epiphan. Πεπαιδεῦσθαι τὴν τῶν Ἐλλήνων
      παιδείαν.

This appears from a fragment of his, preserved in a _Dialogue
      against the Marcionites_, erroneously ascribed to Origen, (see Dupin
      upon Origen,) in which it is quoted at length by one of the
      speakers. See the fragment, in the Appendix to the Benedictine
      edition of Irenæus, or in Grabe’s _Spicilegium_, II. p. 55.

Called _Theodas_, by Clement of Alexandria, _Strom._ VII. 17. § 106.

Tertull. _de Præscr._ 38.

_Apol._ I. 26. See Grabe’s _Spicilegium_, II. 44, 45.

I. _Præf._ 2.

I. xii. 1.

_Hær._ xxxi. 5. It is printed in the Appendix to the best editions
      of Irenæus.

I. xi. 1. The Valentinians against whom Irenæus wrote made the first
      pair the First Cause, First Father, or Depth, and Thought, Grace or
      Silence. See I. i. 1.—Ptolemy placed the Depth first, but gave him
      two consorts, Thought and Will. See I. xii. 1.

Called by his followers Mind, Only‐begotten, Father or Beginning of
      all things.

I. xi. 1.

As Irenæus tells us some of the Valentinians did.

At least this is the account of Tertullian, _adv. Valent._ 4.

I. i. 2. The names are Βύθιος, Μίξις, Ἀγήρατος, Ἕνωσις, Αὐτοφυὴς,
      Ἡδονὴ, Ἀκίνητος, Σύνκρασις, Μονογενὴς, Μακαρία· Παράκλητος, Πίστις,
      Πατρικὸς, Ἐλπὶς, Μητρικὸς, Ἀγάπη, Ἀείνους, Σύνεσις, Ἐκκλησιαστικὸς,
      Μακαριότης, Θελητὸς, Σοφία.
