[Footnote 19: ἕκαστον [sic]. _One_ of the accidents would make better sense. Cf. vol. I, p. 56 _supra_.] [Footnote 20: _i.e._ “inherent.”] [Footnote 21: τὰ ἄτομα.] [Footnote 22: συμπληροῦται.] [Footnote 23: οὐσία, which here as elsewhere in the text may be translated “essence.” “Being,” perhaps, is better here as more familiar to the English reader.] [Footnote 24: These definitions of “accident” and the like are not to be found in the _Categories_ of Aristotle as we have them in the work known as the _Organon_, nor in any other of his extant works. But they correspond with those given in Book VI, and are there attributed to Pythagoras. Cf. p. 21 _supra_.] [Footnote 25: οὐσία throughout.] [Footnote 26: That is, makes fables or myths about the gods.] [Footnote 27: Macmahon remarks that these must be among Aristotle’s lost works. This is doubtful.] [Footnote 28: ἀποκρύφους. Is Matthias a corruption of Glaucias? See n. on p. 59 _supra_.] [Footnote 29: Basilides and his son must therefore have been contemporaries of the Apostles. Even if we treat the word αὐτοῖς here as a copyist’s interpolation, it is evident that Basilides must have been considerably anterior in time to Valentinus.] [Footnote 30: πραγμάτων, “transactions.”] [Footnote 31: The words in this sentence in square brackets are emendations in the text made by different editors.] [Footnote 32: πραγμάτων, as in last note but one.] [Footnote 33: κατὰ πλάτος καὶ διαίρεσιν.] [Footnote 34: Basilides is thus the first Gnostic to teach the doctrine of creation _e nihilo_.] [Footnote 35: ὑποστήσας. Cf. the legend of Cybele, Vol. I, p. 118, n. 1 _supra_.] [Footnote 36: πανσπερμίαν. The word is found in the fragments of Anaxagoras and Democritus as well as in Plato. Its use has been revived by Darwin and Weissmann.] [Footnote 37: ἰδέας.] [Footnote 38: οὐσιῶν. Nothing is here got by translating the word “substances.”] [Footnote 39: πολυούσιον. Galen uses it as equivalent to “very wealthy.”] [Footnote 40: ὁποῖον. As in Aristotle, _Cate._, c. 5.] [Footnote 41: This with Hippolytus’ interpolated remark emphasizes the great difference between Basilides’ doctrine with its assertion of the creation _e nihilo_ and the emanation theory of all other Gnostics. It does away with the necessity for a pre-existent matter.] [Footnote 42: Gen. 1. 3.] [Footnote 43: John 1. 9. This and “Mine hour is not yet come” are the only undoubted references to the Fourth Gospel made by Basilides.] [Footnote 44: ἀρχάς.]
