[Footnote 308: Macmahon, “viceregal”; but the “satrap” shows from which country the story comes.] [Footnote 309: Thus the Armenian version of Marcion’s theology (for which see _Forerunners_, II, p. 217, n. 2) makes the “God of the Law’s” withdrawal from Hyle or Matter, and his retirement to a higher heaven, the cause of all man’s woes.] [Footnote 310: Cf. Ps. cxvii. 19, 20; but the likeness is not exact.] [Footnote 311: Ps. cx. 1.] [Footnote 312: Lit., “until she wishes it not.”] [Footnote 313: “Serpent.” See n. on p. 173 _supra_.] [Footnote 314: Gen. ii. 16, 17.] [Footnote 315: That these stories about the protoplasts endured into Manichæan times, see M. Cumont’s _La Cosmogonie Manichéenne_, Appendix I.] [Footnote 316: Here again a power is referred to by its number instead of its name, as with the Naassene author.] [Footnote 317: Gal. v. 17.] [Footnote 318: τὴν πλάσιν τὴν πονηράν, _malam fictionem_, Cr. Yet we have been told nothing of any deceit by Edem towards her partner.] [Footnote 319: The Ophite Diagram, and bar Khôni’s authority both figure the powers hostile to man as taking the shapes of these animals.] [Footnote 320: So one of the latest documents of the _Pistis Sophia_ calls the planet Aphrodite by a _place_-name, which in that case is Bubastis.] [Footnote 321: προφητεία.] [Footnote 322: If these words are to be taken literally, Justinus was the only heretic of early date who denied His divinity, and this would distinguish him finally from Marcion. But the words are not inconsistent with the Adoptionist view.] [Footnote 323: These words are Miller’s suggestion.] [Footnote 324: John xix. 26.] [Footnote 325: παραθέμενος. So Luke xxiii. 46.] [Footnote 326: ἐπριοποίησε. The derivation is absurd and the word if it had any meaning would be something like “made like a saw.” προποιέω would make the pun at which he seems to have been striving.] [Footnote 327: This was not the case, the statues of Priapus being placed in gardens. The whole passage seems to have been interpolated by some one ignorant of Greek and of Greek customs or mythology.] [Footnote 328: Isa. i. 2.] [Footnote 329: τελεῖσθας or “initiated.” In any case a mystical word.] [Footnote 330: Lit., “washed”; but the context shows that it is baptism which is in question. It played an important part not only in all these heretical sects but in heathen “mysteries” like those of Isis and Mithras.] [Footnote 331: Hosea i. 2. The A.V. has “_departing_ from the Lord.” Here we have Edem clearly identified with the Earth goddess which is the key to the whole of Justinus’ story.] [Footnote 332: ταῖς ἑξῆς ... τὰς τῶν ἀκολούθων αἱρέσεων. Macmahon, following Cruice, translates as above. It may well be, however, that the “heresies which follow” only mean which follow in the book.]
