Note 69 — Chapter VII · POST-CHRISTIAN GNOSTICS
Reading edition
Witness the confusion between Ennoia and Epinoia in Chapter VI, vol. I. p. 180, n. 4, supra, and between Saturnilus and Saturninus in this chapter, p. 9. So Irenaeus and others record the opinions of an associate of Marcus whom they call “Colarbasus,” a name which modern criticism has shown to be a mistake for קול ארבע Kol-arba, “The Voice of the Four” or the Supreme Tetrad. See Renan, Mare Aurèle, p. 129; Hort in Dict. Christian Biog. s.h.v. So Clement of Alexandria, Protrept. c. II. mistakes Evoe, the mystic cry of the Bacchantes, for the Eve of Genesis.
