Note 340 — Chapter III · THE ORIGIN OF GNOSTICISM
Reading edition
Astrampsuchos appears, oddly enough, as the name of one of the celestial guardians of a heaven in one of the documents of the Bodleian Bruce Papyrus which is described in Chap. X, infra. See Amélineau, Le Papyrus Gnostique Bruce, Paris, p. 109, who transcribes it Etrempsuchos, while Schmidt (Koptisch-gnostische Schriften, Leipzig, 1905, Bd. I. p. 345) writes Strempsuchos. Hippolytus gives the name as that of one of the Powers worshipped by the Peratae, v. Philosophumena, Bk V. c. 14, p. 196, Cruice.
