[Footnote 10: τοῦ λόγου ἀκούσαντας, “listen to the argument.” Hippolytus had he written in English would doubtless have said “the Word,” but this has a different connotation in modern language.] [Footnote 11: λόγος without the article.] [Footnote 12: ἀπείροισιν ἐοίκασι πειρεώμενοι. It is very difficult to make sense of these words and both Cruice and Macmahon leave them untranslated.] [Footnote 13: πεττεύων. Playing at _tessera_ or draughts. Cr., _tesseras jaciens_, a game in which there was chance as well as skill like backgammon. Lucian, as Cruice notes, puts the same phrase into Heraclitus’ mouth.] [Footnote 14: Some word missing here.] [Footnote 15: κρείττων supplied from the next quoted sentence.] [Footnote 16: The Codex has ὅσον ὄψις κ.τ.λ. Cruice substitutes ὅσων and translates _Quaecumque visus ... capere possunt_.] [Footnote 17: Something probably omitted here also.] [Footnote 18: ἕτερον.] [Footnote 19: A screw. Also a staircase.] [Footnote 20: ὀλέθριον, “destructive.”] [Footnote 21: χρημοσύνη. Cr., _Inopia_, Macm., “Craving.”] [Footnote 22: διακόσμησις. The making of a cosmos out of chaos or the Creation.] [Footnote 23: So Clem. Alex., _Strom._, V, 1, makes Heraclitus predict the destruction of the world by fire. The same theory is attributed to the Stoics.] [Footnote 24: It has not been thought well to delay the reader by attempting to puzzle out the meaning of Heraclitus whom the ancients themselves did not profess to understand. So far as can be seen the only likeness between his sayings and the teaching of Noetus and his successors was due to the love of paradox shown by both. The parallel between them that Hippolytus tries to draw is mainly forced upon him by his own theory that all heresy is derived from Greek philosophy.] [Footnote 25: A pun on νοητός, the adjective, and Noetus, the proper name.] [Footnote 26: Another pun between ἁιρουμένοι and αἵρεσις.] [Footnote 27: The words in brackets supplied from the Summary in Book X.] [Footnote 28: Ἀχώρητος, “that cannot be confined (in space),” or what we mean when we say that He is infinite.] [Footnote 29: ἀκράτητος, “that cannot be dominated.” One would have expected the word ἀνίκητος; but as this was one of the honorific titles of the Emperor, it was doubtless altered for prudential reasons.] [Footnote 30: Not “sovereignty” but the doctrine of One Source and Ruler of All. The phrase constantly recurs in the theology of the time, and the word Monarchian is applied to all heresies of the Noetian kind.]
