Chapter XII: Book VIII: , p. 111 supra. He now omits all reference to Justin Martyr,
there said to be Tatian’s teacher, and to Tatian’s peculiar ideas about the salvation of Adam; while he introduces a special world-creating aeon not mentioned elsewhere.]
[Footnote 56: Here he omits the heresies of the Quartodecimans and the Encratites, which receive notice in Book VIII, pp. 113, 115, 116 _supra_, and passes on to Marcion, who was a contemporary of Valentinus. It is plain, therefore, that he does not attempt in the summary to keep either to order of date or to that of the earlier books.]
[Footnote 57: οὐδὲν ὅλως πεποιηκέναι. So the Codex. Some word seems to be missing; but perhaps the passage should read οὐδὲν τῶν ὅλων, “none of the universals.”]
[Footnote 58: ἀλόγως, “unreasonably.”]
[Footnote 59: Matt. vii. 18.]
[Footnote 60: This also is certainly not taken from the chapters on Marcion in Book VII, pp. 82-90 _supra_, which are mainly devoted to an attempt to prove Marcion to have plagiarized from Empedocles. Nor is it from Irenæus or from the tractate _Adversus omnes hæreses_.]
[Footnote 61: συντάγματα, “summaries”?]
[Footnote 62: The substance of this can be found in the account of Apelles in Book VII, pp. 96-97 _supra_; but the summarizer does not use the phrases of the earlier book, and he can hardly have had it before him.]
[Footnote 63: As before (p. 389 Cr.), Macmahon here translates καὶ δυνάμεις ἐπιτελέσαι, “he wrought miracles.”]
[Footnote 64: This, on the other hand, is taken almost _verbatim_ from c. 33 of Book VII (pp. 92, 93 _supra_), the few slight differences between the two chapters being not other than a careless scribe might be expected to make.]
[Footnote 65: This also from Book VII, p. 93 _supra_, but slightly condensed.]
[Footnote 66: This also appears to be condensed from the account of Theodotus in Book VII, pp. 93, 94 _supra_. The summarizer adds to it the alleged denial by Theodotus of Christ’s divinity, which does not appear in Book VII.]
[Footnote 67: This, too, is not inconsistent with the account of “other Theodotians” in Book VII, pp 94, 95 _supra_, but omits all reference to the Nicolaitans.]
[Footnote 68: Here the summarizer reverts to Book VIII, pp. 113, 114 _supra_, from which his account of the Phrygians or Montanists appears to be taken. The phrases used are not identical, and while Book VIII merely says that the Montanist heresy agrees with the Patripassianism of the Noetian, the Summary declares that the first was absolutely derived from the second.]
[Footnote 69: κατὰ καιροὺς καλούμενον πρὸς τὰ συμβαίνοντα. Cf. the καλούμενον κατὰ χρόνων τροπήν, p. 434 Cr. Otherwise this chapter seems to be a condensed paraphrase rather than a series of extracts from
