Philosophumena; or, The refutation of all heresies, Volume I

Note 71 — BOOK IV DIVINERS AND MAGICIANS

Francis Legge translation

Nothing definite is known of this Colarbasus or his supposed astrological heresy. The accounts given of him by Irenæus and Epiphanius describe him as holding tenets identical with those of Marcus. Hort, following Baur, believes that he never existed, and that his name is simply a Greek corruption of Qol arba, “the Voice of the Four.” See D.C.B., s.h.v.
