[Footnote 54: Salmon (_art. cit._) points out that this is “at first sight mere pantheism.” It is difficult to put any other construction upon it.] [Footnote 55: These six powers have been compared to Simon Magus’ six “Roots,” which Simon also connects with the six Days of Creation. Cf. p. 252 Cr.] [Footnote 56: Exod. vii. 20; viii. 16.] [Footnote 57: σχηματίζει. Macm. translates “shape.”] [Footnote 58: δεκάπληγος. Qy. δεκάπληγμος? The word is apparently dragged in for the sake of making a pun with πληγή, “a stroke.” Πληγμός is a medical term for a seizure or apoplectic stroke, and probably has the same root.] [Footnote 59: πληγή.] [Footnote 60: δεκάπληγος καὶ δεκάλογος.] [Footnote 61: Salmon (_art. cit._) thinks this may have some connection with the Quartodeciman heresy mentioned later in the book.] [Footnote 62: So Cruice, _in omnibus istis creaturam sine fermento mundi_, but I see no meaning in the words.] [Footnote 63: Isa. xl. 6.] [Footnote 64: These are the “accidents” of substance which Hippolytus has attributed in Book VI to Pythagoras, and in Book VII to Aristotle. See pp. 21 and 64 _supra_. According to Book VI (_ubi cit._) the [Neo-] Pythagoreans also used the image of the tittle.] [Footnote 65: Probably some follower of Monoimus, but not otherwise known.] [Footnote 66: So the Codex. Duncker and Cruice would both read σεαυτῷ, “for thyself.”] [Footnote 67: Of the source of this chapter little can be said. Both the statements in the earlier part of the text and the letter to Theophrastus bear internal marks of having been taken from real documents. They contain also some peculiarities of diction and construction, which would be quite consistent with their author being an Oriental imperfectly acquainted with Greek.] [Footnote 68: This short notice of Tatian is condensed from the almost equally short notice of Irenæus (I, xxviii.), who seems to connect Tatian with the sect of Encratites. Eusebius (_Hist. Eccl._, I, xvi.), while mentioning him as a pupil of Justin, does not speak of him as a heretic. Epiphanius (_Haer._, XLVI) follows Irenæus, and Theodoret (_Haer. Fab._, I, xx.), Hippolytus.]
