Note 175 — BOOK VI SIMON MAGUS, VALENTINUS, AND THEIR FOLLOWERS
Francis Legge translation
Of Ptolemy we know a little more than we do of Secundus, a letter by him to his “fair sister Flora” being given by Epiphanius (Haer. XXXIII.) which shows a system not inconsistent with that described in the text. Unlike Valentinus himself he gives the Father a spouse, or rather two.
