Note 500 — Chapter X · THE SYSTEM OF THE PISTIS SOPHIA AND ITS RELATED TEXTS[459]
Reading edition
So Secundus, Valentinus’ follower, taught according to Hippolytus (v. Chap. ΙΧ supra) “that there is a right and a left tetrad, i.e. light and darkness.” This may be taken to mean that the constitution of the light-world was repeated point for point in the world of darkness. The middle world is of course that where light and darkness mingle.
