Note 454 — PHOTIUS BIBLIOTHECA OR MYRIOBIBLON[6] (continued 3)
John Henry Freese translation
Their system was dualistic, recognizing two principles, good and evil; the first the author of man’s spiritual, the second of his corporeal nature. Man had two souls, one intellectual and rational, the other evil. They held that the souls of men, animals and plants were coeternal with God; that baptism was useless; that man was not free; that Christ was the material sun enlightening the world; that all religions were indifferent.
