ταύτην [Sige] δὲ ὑποδεξαμένην τὸ σπέρμα τοῦτο καὶ ἐγκύμονα γενομένην, ἀποκυῆσαι Νοῦν, ὅμοιόν τε καὶ ἶσον τῷ προβαλόντι, καὶ μόνον χωροῦντα τὸ μέγεθος τοῦ Πατρός: Irenaeus, Bk I. c. 1, § 1, p. 9, Harvey: “and she having received this seed and becoming pregnant, brought forth Nous, like and equal to him who had projected him, and alone containing the greatness of the Father.” Footnote 343: _Id._ Bk I. c. 1, § 1, pp. 9, 10, Harvey. Footnote 344: _Ibid._ p. 10, Harvey. Footnote 345: Hippolytus, _op. cit._ Bk VI. c. 29, p. 280, Cruice. Footnote 346: Tertullian, _adv. Valentinianos_, c. 7. Footnote 347: Irenaeus, Bk I. c. 5, § 2, p. 106, Harvey. Footnote 348: See p. 128 _infra_. Footnote 349: Tertullian, _adv. Valentinianos_, c. 36. Footnote 350: Clem. Alex. _Strom._ Bk I. c. 1. Footnote 351: _Ibid._ Bk I. cc. 7, 16. Footnote 352: _Ibid._ Bk II. c. 19. Footnote 353: _Ibid._ Bk II. c. 20. Footnote 354: _Ibid._ Bk II. c. 12. Footnote 355: See Chapter VI, vol. I. p. 174, _supra_. Footnote 356: Clem. Alex. _Strom._ Bk VII. c. 1. Footnote 357: Hippolytus, _op. cit._ Bk VI. c. 29, p. 281, Cruice. Footnote 358: _i.e._ Profound. Footnote 359: Not “self-existent,” but maker of his own φύσις or nature. Footnote 360: See n. 2, p. 98 _supra_. Footnote 361: Harvey reads here αἰώνιος “everlasting,” which makes at least as good sense as the other. Footnote 362: Some memory of this seems to have enlivened the disputes between the Nominalists and Realists of the XIIIth century. Cf. the wrangling of the Doctors at the School of Salerno in Longfellow’s _Golden Legend_ I, with the Doctor Seraphic, maintain That the word that’s not spoken, but conceived in the brain, Is the type of Eternal Generation, The spoken word is the Incarnation. Footnote 363: They are also probably places or receptacles. In the _Pistis Sophia_ we read repeatedly of the three χωρήματα and of the τόπος ἀληθείας. Footnote 364: Amélineau, _Gnost. Égypt._ pp. 200 _sqq._ Footnote 365: So Hope Moulton, _Early Zoroastrianism_, 1913, p. 114, points out that half of the Persian Amshaspands or archangels bear names expressing “what Mazda is” and the other half “what Mazda gives.” There is much likeness, as has been said, between the Amshaspands and the “Roots” of Simon Magus. Footnote 366: It is worth noticing that these are the three “theological” virtues, Faith, Hope, and Charity. Footnote 367: Hippolytus, _op. cit._ Bk VI. c. 23, pp. 269-271, Cruice, wishes to make out that all this is derived from what he calls the “Pythagorean” system of numbers. Anyone wishing to pursue these “silly cabalisms” further is recommended to read Harvey’s Introduction to Valentinus’ system, _op. cit._ pp. cxv-cxvii. Footnote 368:
