[Footnote 11: “That which has been sent”?]
[Footnote 12: Doubtless as being still confined in matter.]
[Footnote 13: Both Origen and Celsus knew of this Mariamne, after whom a sect is said to have been named. See Orig. _cont. Cels._, VI, 30.]
[Footnote 14: τῶν ἐθνῶν. The usual expression for Gentiles or Goyim.]
[Footnote 16: διάφορον. Miller reads ἀδιάφορον: “undistinguished.”]
[Footnote 17: This hymn is in metre and is said to be from a lost Pindaric ode. It has been restored by Bergk, the restoration being given in the notes to Cruice’s text, p. 142, and it was translated into English verse by the late Professor Conington. Cf. _Forerunners_, II, p. 54, n. 6.]
[Footnote 18: ἰχθυοφάγον. Doubtless a mistake for ἰχθυοφόρον. The Oannes of Berossus’ story wore a fish on his back.]
[Footnote 19: Adam the protoplast according to the Ophites (_Irenæus_, I, xviii, p. 197, Harvey) and Epiphanius (_Hær._ xxxvii, c. 4, p. 501, Oehler) was made by Jaldabaoth and his six sons. The same story was current among the followers of Saturninus (_Irenæus_, I, xviii, p. 197, Harvey) and other Gnostic sects, who agree with the text as to his helplessness when first created, and its cause.]
[Footnote 20: So in the Bruce Papyrus, “Jeû,” which name I have suggested is an abbreviation of Jehovah, is called “the great Man, King of the great Aeon of light.” See _Forerunners_, II, 193.]
[Footnote 21: Eph. iii. 15. Cf. the address of Jesus to His Father in the last document of the _Pistis Sophia_, _Forerunners_, II, p. 180, n. 4.]
[Footnote 22: Why is he to be punished? In the Manichæan story (for which see _Forerunners_, II, pp. 292 ff.) the First Man is taken prisoner by the powers of darkness. Both this and that in the text are doubtless survivals of some legend current throughout Western Asia at a very early date. Cf. Bousset’s _Hauptprobleme der Gnosis_, Leipzig, 1907, c. 4, _Der Urmensch_.]
[Footnote 23: So the cryptogram in the _Pistis Sophia_ professes to give “the word by which the Perfect Man is moved.” _Forerunners_, II, 188, n. 2.]
[Footnote 24: οὐσία: perhaps “essence” or “being.” It is the word for which _hypostasis_ was later substituted according to Hatch. See his _Hibbert Lectures_, pp. 269 ff.]
