[Footnote 284: ψυχαγωγίας χάριν. The reader must again be reminded that while the ψυχή of the Greeks was what we should call “mind,” the πνεῦμα is spirit, answering more to our word “soul.”] [Footnote 285: παραμύθιον, a play upon μύθος.] [Footnote 286: 1 Cor. ii. 9.] [Footnote 287: Lit., “guarded the secrets of silence.”] [Footnote 288: Ps. cx. 4.] [Footnote 289: “The Blessed.”] [Footnote 290: παραπλάσει, “given it another form.” As a fact, Justinus’ quotation from Herodotus is singularly accurate, save as afterwards noted.] [Footnote 291: Herodotus, IV, 8-10.] [Footnote 292: An island near Cadiz. The codex has Ἐρυθρᾶς, “the Red Sea.”] [Footnote 293: In Herodotus it is mares and a chariot.] [Footnote 294: μιξοπάρθενος. A neologism.] [Footnote 295: In Herodotus the prophecy is given by the girl.] [Footnote 296: To explain the origin of the Scythian nation.] [Footnote 297: Or perhaps, as above, “the things of the universe.”] [Footnote 298: Supplied from the summary in Book X. So the _Pistis Sophia_ has a Power never otherwise described but not benevolent who is called “the great unseen Forefather,” and seems to rule over material things.] [Footnote 299: There is nothing to show that Hippolytus or Justinus knew this to be a plural.] [Footnote 300: Seven names are missing from the text. Of the five given, Michael, Amen and Gabriel are given in the chapter on the Ophites in Theodore bar Khôni’s _Book of Scholia_ as the first angels created by God, the name of Baruch being replaced by that of “the great Yah.” “Esaddæus” is probably El Shaddai, who is said in the same book to be the angel sent to give the Law to the Jews and to have treacherously persuaded them to worship himself.] [Footnote 301: Of these twelve names, Babel is written in bar Khôni as Babylon and said to be masculo-feminine, Achamoth is the Hebrew חכמת, Chochmah, Sophia, or Wisdom whom most Gnostics called the Mother of Life, Naas is the Serpent as is explained in the chapter on the Naassenes, Bel, Baal or the Chaldæan Bel, for Belias we should probably read Beliar, the devil of works like the _Ascensio Isaiae_, Kavithan should probably be Leviathan, Adonaios is the Hebrew Adonai, or the Lord, while Sael, Karkamenos and Lathen cannot be identified. Pharaoh and “Samiel,” a homonym of Satan, appear in bar Khôni’s list of angels who rule one or other of the ten heavens, and Adonaios and Leviathan in the Ophite Diagram described by Celsus. Cf. _Forerunners_, II, pp. 70 ff.] [Footnote 302: Gen. ii. 8.] [Footnote 303: So a Chinese Manichæan treatise lately discovered (see _Forerunners_, II, p. 352) speaks of demons inhabiting the soul as “trees.”] [Footnote 304: ξύλον τοῦ εἰδέναι γνῶσιν κ.τ.λ., “the Tree _of seeing_ Knowledge,” etc.] [Footnote 305: The context shows that it is the unity, etc., of Elohim and Edem that is referred to.] [Footnote 306: Cf. n. on p. 177 _supra_.] [Footnote 307: Gen. i. 28.]
