[Footnote 187: The cause assigned a little later is the salvation of the _three_ worlds.]
[Footnote 188: τριδύναμος probably means with powers from all three worlds. The phrase is frequent in the _Pistis Sophia_.]
[Footnote 189: συγκρίματα, _concretiones_, Cr. and Macmahon. It might mean “decrees” and is used in the Septuagint version of Daniel for “interpretations” of dreams.]
[Footnote 190: Coloss. i. 19, and ii. 9.]
[Footnote 191: From the starry influences?]
[Footnote 194: But see n. 4 on last page and text three sentences earlier.]
[Footnote 195: It was not the world, but the Zodiac that the astrologers divided into dodecatemories. See Bouché-Leclercq, _L’Astrologie Gr._, _passim_.]
[Footnote 196: There must be some mistake here. The planetary world, according to the astronomy of the time, only began at the Moon.]
[Footnote 197: The words which follow, down to the end of this paragraph, with the exception of one sentence, are taken, not from the astrologers, but from the opponent Sextus Empiricus. They correspond to pp. 339 ff. of the Leipzig edition of Sextus and the restorations from this are shown by round brackets. The whole passage doubtless once formed the beginning of Book IV of our text, the opening words of which they repeat. For the probable cause of this needless repetition see the Introduction, p. 20 _supra_.]
[Footnote 198: Sextus’ comment, not Hippolytus’.]
[Footnote 199: The personal followers of Pythagoras were called Pythagorics, those who later gave a general assent to his doctrines Pythagoreans.]
[Footnote 200: An echo of a tradition which seems widespread in Asia. In the _Pistis Sophia_ it is said that half the signs of the Zodiac rebelled against the order to give up “the purity of their light” and joined the wicked Adamas, while the other half remained faithful under the rule of Jabraoth. Cf. Rev. xii. 7, and the Babylonian legend of the assault of the seven evil spirits on the Moon.]
[Footnote 201: “Toparch” = ruler of a place. Proastius, “suburban,” or a dweller in the environs of a town. It here probably means the ruler of a part of the heavens near or under the influence of a planet.]
[Footnote 202: The bombastic phrases which follow seem to have been much corrupted and to have been translated from some language other than Greek. Νυκτόχροος and ὑδατόχροος are not, I think, met with elsewhere, and the genders are much confused throughout the whole quotation, Poseidon being made a female deity and Isis a male one. The more outlandish names have some likeness to the “Munichuaphor,” “Chremaor,” etc., of the _Pistis Sophia_. There seems some logical connection between the name of the powers and those born under them, the lovers being assigned to Eros, and so on.]
