Note 171 — BOOK VI SIMON MAGUS, VALENTINUS, AND THEIR FOLLOWERS
Francis Legge translation
προήκαντο μὴ προέμεναι, protulerunt non proferendo ex se, Cr. So Irenæus, I, xi. 3, p. 104, H. In his note Harvey says that the passage implies that Henotes and Monotes “put forth as the original cause the Beginning, but so as that the Beginning was eternally inseparable from their unity.”
