Note 624 — Chapter X · THE SYSTEM OF THE PISTIS SOPHIA AND ITS RELATED TEXTS[459]
Reading edition
This “Middle Way” has nothing to do with the τόπος or “place” of the middle, where are set in the Pistis Sophia proper the powers who preside over incarnation. It is below the visible sphere (p. 364, Copt.) and is met with in Rabbinic lore. See Kohler, op. cit. p. 587.
