Note 439 — Chapter IX · POST-CHRISTIAN GNOSTICS: VALENTINUS
Reading edition
Neander, op. et loc. cit. p. 150 and note, says Clement of Alexandria declares that while Marcion wished to found a Church, the other Gnostics endeavoured to found schools (διατριβαί) only. Clem. Alex. Strom. Bk VII. c. 15, seems to be the passage referred to; but in the present state of the text it may be doubted whether it will bear the construction Neander puts upon it.
