Works Irenaeus of Lyon (130-202) Contra Haereses

Translation Hide
Against Heresies

2.

Secundus again affirms that the primary Ogdoad consists of a right hand and a left hand Tetrad, and teaches that the one of these is called light, and the other darkness. But he maintains that the power which separated from the rest, and fell away, did not proceed directly from the thirty Aeons, but from their fruits.

2.

Sekundus aber lehrt, es bestehe die erste Achtheit aus einer linken und einer rechten Vierheit, d. h. aus Licht und Schatten; die verlassene Kraft jedoch sei nicht von den dreißig Äonen ausgegangen, sondern von ihren Früchten.
