[Footnote 89: These “accidents” are enumerated by Aristotle in his _Metaphysics_, Book IV, and more briefly in his _Organon_. He does not there acknowledge any indebtedness to Pythagoras.] [Footnote 90: συνέχει.] [Footnote 91: φιλία, not ἀγάπη. Macmahon translates “friendship.”] [Footnote 92: _i. e._ the “Fashioner” = one who makes things out of previously existing material, but does not create them _ex nihilo_.] [Footnote 93: διανομή, a word peculiar apparently to the Pythagoreans. Jowett translates it “regulation.”] [Footnote 94: ἀπορῥαγάδας, a word unknown in classical Greek, which should by its etymology mean “chinks” or “rents.” I have taken it as a mistake for ἀπορῥήματα, which is found in Plutarch.] [Footnote 95: Not Pythagoras, but Plutarch, _de Exilio_, § 11. He attributes it to Heraclitus.] [Footnote 96: The reference seems to be to the _Phaedrus_, t. 1, p. 89 (Bekker).] [Footnote 97: Or “practise philosophy”: but Hippolytus always uses the word with a contemptuous meaning.] [Footnote 98: τὰς ἀρχάς. Evidently a mistake for τοὺς ἄρχοντας.] [Footnote 99: Hippolytus in the interpretation of these sayings seems to have followed Diogenes Laertius.] [Footnote 100: Ἀριθμητής.] [Footnote 101: So Shu the Egyptian God of Air was figured _between_ Earth (Seb) and Heaven (Nut).] [Footnote 102: Roeper would read τὸν μέγαν ἐνιαυτὸν ἀπεργάζεται κόσμου, “completes the Great Year of the world.”] [Footnote 103: Ἄθηλυς, “without female.”] [Footnote 104: Σιγή, “Silence.” Cf. the Orphic cosmogony which makes Night the Mother of Heaven and Earth by Phanes the First-born, who contains within himself the seeds of all creatures (_Forerunners_, I, 123).] [Footnote 105: The attribution of this monistic doctrine to Valentinus is found for the first time here. Irenæus and Tertullian both make him say that Sige is the spouse of the Supreme Being.] [Footnote 106: οὐσία. Here as elsewhere in this chapter, save where an obvious pun is intended, to be translated as in text, and not “substance,” which is generally the equivalent of ὑπόστασις.] [Footnote 107: φιλέρημος γὰρ οὐκ ἦν.] [Footnote 108: Νοῦν καὶ ἀλήθειαν. Here as elsewhere with the names of Aeons, the English equivalent of the Greek name is first given, and, in later repetitions, the Greek name transliterated into English.] [Footnote 109: Λόγον καὶ Ζωήν.] [Footnote 110: Ἄνθρωπον καὶ Ἐκκλησίαν.] [Footnote 111: τέλειος used in its double sense of “perfect” and “complete.”] [Footnote 112: ὁ Λογος μετὰ τῆς Ζωῆς. The curious conception by which the two partners in a syzygy are regarded as only one being is very marked throughout this passage.] [Footnote 113: ἀγεννησία; “unbegottenness” would be a closer translation, but is uncouth in this connection. Cf. I, p. 147 _supra_.]
