[Footnote 206: Macmahon reads here Ino, but this name appears later.] [Footnote 207: There is some confusion here. The Platonists, following Philolaos, attributed singular properties to the twelve-angled figure made out of pentagons and declared it to have been the model after which the Zodiac was made.] [Footnote 208: νυκτόχροος. It seems to be a translation of the Latin _nocticolor_.] [Footnote 209: So the Codex. Schneidewin and Cruice would read Κρόνος, but that name has already occurred.] [Footnote 210: Here again Schneidewin would read ἀστέρος, “star”; but the next sentence makes it plain that it is the wind which is meant.] [Footnote 211: Ariel is in one of the later documents of the _Pistis Sophia_ made one of the torturers in hell.] [Footnote 212: Probably Saclan or Asaqlan whom the Manichæans made the Son of the King of Darkness and the husband of the Nebrod or Nebroe mentioned above.] [Footnote 213: πρωτοκαμάρον. Macmahon translates it the “star Protocamarus,” for which I can see no authority. It seems to me to be an inversion of πρωτομακάρος, “first-best,” very likely to happen in turning a Semitic language into Greek and back again.] [Footnote 214: The dogstar, Sothis, or Sirius, was identified with Isis.] [Footnote 215: Μύγδων. In a magic spell, Pluto, who has many analogies with Attis, is saluted as “Huesemigadon,” perhaps “Hye, Cye, Mygdon.” Has this Mygdon any analogy with _amygdalon_ the almond?] [Footnote 216: Qy. Mise, the hermaphrodite Dionysos?] [Footnote 217: Βουμέγας, “great ox”? All the other names which follow are those of magicians or diviners.] [Footnote 218: Two of the seven “angels of the presence.” Their appearance in a list mainly of Greek heroes is inexplicable.] [Footnote 219: τῆς ἄνω. Perhaps we should insert δυνάμεως, “the Power on High.”] [Footnote 220: See _Sibyll. Orac._, III. But the Sibyl says the exact opposite. Cf. Charles, _Apocrypha and Psuedepigrapha of the O.T._, II, 377.] [Footnote 221: περᾶσαι. The derivation is too much even for Theodoret, who says that the name of the sect is taken from “Euphrates the Peratic” (or Mede).] [Footnote 222: So modern astrologers make him the “greater malefic.”] [Footnote 223: A fragment from Heraclitus according to Schleiermacher.] [Footnote 224: So the _Pistis Sophia_ speaks repeatedly of “the Pleroma of all Pleromas.”] [Footnote 225: Many magical books bore the name of Moses. See _Forerunners_, II, 46, and n.] [Footnote 226: Is this why one Ophite sect was called the Cainites? The hostility here shown to the God of the Jews is common to many other sects such as that of Saturninus, of Marcion and later of Manes. Cf. _Forerunners_, II, under these names.] [Footnote 227: Gen. x. 9. Nimrod, who is sometimes identified with the hero Gilgames, plays a large part in all this Eastern tradition.] [Footnote 228: John iii. 13, 14.] [Footnote 229: _Ibid._, i. 1-4.]
