Hahn, in his _Antitheses Marcionis gnostici_, Königsberg, 1823,
claimed to have restored this book, while Hilgenfeld has examined the
extant remains of Marcion’s Gospel in _Das Evangelium Marcions_. He
attempted to restore Marcion’s _Apostolicon_ in the _Zeitschr. für
hist. Theol._ 1855.
Footnote 714:
The _Antitheses_ seem to have been seen by Photius in the Xth century,
so that we need not despair.
Footnote 715:
Like the Eros-Phanes of the Orphics and the Ophite Agape. So
Pausanias, Bk IX. c. 27, says the Lycomidae sang in the Mysteries
hymns to Eros, which he had read, thanks to a δαδοῦχος or torch-bearer
at Eleusis.
Footnote 716:
Tertullian, _adv. Marc._ Bk I. c. 2, says that Marcion is obliged to
admit the existence of a Creator, because his work is manifest; but
that he will never be able to prove that of a higher God than he—a
mode of reasoning which might take him further than he intends.

As is plain from the words of Plutarch quoting, as is generally
thought, Theopompus of Chios. See _Is. et Os._ cc. XLVI., XLVII.
Al-Bîrûnî, _Chronology_, p. 189, says indeed that both Bardesanes and
Marcion borrowed from Zoroaster. But this was eight centuries after
Marcion’s death, and we have no evidence as to Al-Bîrûnî’s means of
knowledge of his tenets.
Footnote 738:
Harvey’s _Irenaeus_, I. p. cli. There is a curious resemblance to
Marcion’s Demiurge in the Clementine _Homilies_, XX. c. 2, where the
king of this world who rules by law and rejoices in the destruction of
sinners is mentioned. But the _Homilies_ are probably Ebionite and
certainly, in the form in which they have come down to us, later than
Marcion.
