Widerlegung aller Häresien (BKV)
28.
Ein gewisser Hermogenes wollte auch etwas von sich geben und behauptete, Gott habe das Universum aus gleichewiger, vorhandener Materie gemacht; es sei ein Ding der Unmöglichkeit, daß Gott nicht aus Bestehendem die geschaffenen Dinge gemacht habe.

The Refutation of All Heresies
Chapter XXIV.--Hermogenes.
But one Hermogenes himself also being desirous of saying something, asserted that God made all things out of matter coeval with Himself, and subject to His design. For Hermogenes 1 held it to be an impossibility that God should make the things that were made, except out of existent things.
