So Irenaeus, _loc. cit._, p. 203, Harvey, makes the Basilidians say that they were neither Jews nor Christians: _Et Judaeos quidem jam non esse dicunt, Christianos autem nondum_—or, as Epiphanius, _loc. cit._, more strongly puts it: Ἰουδαίους μὲν ἑαυτοὺς μηκέτι εἶναι φάσκουσι, Χριστιανοὺς δὲ μηκέτι γεγενῆσθαι. Footnote 321: Epiphanius, _Pan. Haer._ XXXI. c. 2, p. 306, Oehler. Amélineau, _Gnost. Ég._ p. 168, defends Epiphanius’ statement. Footnote 322: Matter, _Hist. du Gnost._ t. II. p. 37, says that Basilides died about 134 A.D. and that Valentinus’ teaching began to make itself heard about the year following; but he gives no authorities for the statement. Epiphanius, _loc. cit._, does say, however, that Valentinus was later in time than Basilides and “Satornilus” (Saturninus). There seems no authority for Matter’s statement that he was of Jewish origin. Footnote 323: Amélineau, _Gnost. Ég._ p. 176, and Clement of Alexandria as there quoted. Cf. King, _Gnostics_, p. 263. Footnote 324: Matter, _Hist. du Gnost._ t. II. p. 36. Footnote 325: Ἐπεὶ οὖν γέγονε πρώτη καὶ δευτέρα ἀναδρομὴ τῆς Υἱότητος, καὶ μεμένηκεν αὐτοῦ τὸ Πνεῦμα τὸ Ἅγιον τὸν εἰρημένον τρόπον, στερεωμάτων ὑπερκοσμίων καὶ τοῦ κόσμου μεταξὺ τεταγμένον: Hippolytus, _op. cit._ Bk VII. c. 23, p. 353, Cruice. Footnote 326: Hippolytus, _loc. cit._ p. 354, Cruice. Footnote 327: Hippolytus, _op. cit._ Bk V. c. 8, pp. 158, 159, Cruice, says simply in speaking of the Naassene writer: οὗτοι εἰσὶν οἱ τρεὶς ὑπέρογκοι λόγοι “Καυλακαῦ, Σαυλασαῦ, Ζεησάρ.” “Καυλακαῦ” τοῦ ἄνω, τοῦ Ἀδάμαντος, “Σαυλασαῦ,” τοῦ κάτω θνητοῦ, “Ζεησάρ” τοῦ ἐπὶ τὰ ἄνω ῥεύσαντος Ἰορδάνου. “These are the three weighty words: Caulacau [the name] of him who is above, [_i.e._] Adamas; Saulasau of the mortal one who is beneath; Zeesar of the Jordan which flows on high.” Epiphanius, _Haer._ XXV. c. 4, pp. 162, 164, Oehler, says that they are taken from the words of Isaiah xxviii. 10, צו לצו קו לקו זעיר שם translated in the A.V. “precept upon precept, line upon line, here a little”; but the resemblance is not very close, and it is more probable that the barbarous words of the text cover some sort of cryptogram. Irenaeus, Bk Ι. c. 19, § 3, p. 201, Harvey, says of the Basilidians: _Quemadmodum et mundus nomen esse, in quo dicunt descendisse et ascendisse Salvatorem, esse Caulacau_, which Harvey says is unintelligible. See Salmon, _s.h.v._ in _Dict. of Christian Biog._, where he tries hard to explain the name and its use. Cheyne, _Prophecies of Isaiah_, 2nd ed. vol. I. p. 162, would make this Caulacau, however, equivalent to the “word of Jehovah” or Logos. Cf. Renan, _Hist. du Peuple d’Israel_, Eng. ed. 1897, II. pp. 436, 437. Footnote 328: Tertullian, _adv. Valentinianos_, c. 5. Footnote 329:
