Note 367 — Chapter IX · POST-CHRISTIAN GNOSTICS: VALENTINUS
Reading edition
Hippolytus, op. cit. Bk VI. c. 23, pp. 269-271, Cruice, wishes to make out that all this is derived from what he calls the “Pythagorean” system of numbers. Anyone wishing to pursue these “silly cabalisms” further is recommended to read Harvey’s Introduction to Valentinus’ system, op. cit. pp. cxv-cxvii.
