Works Tertullian (160-220) Adversus Valentinianos

Translation Hide
Gegen die Valentinianer. (BKV)

38. Cap. Ansichten des Valentinianers Sekundus.

Erträglicher, weil kürzer, macht es schon Secundus, indem er die Ogdoas in zwei Tetraden theilt, in eine rechte und eine linke, in Licht und Finsternis, nur will er diese abtrünnige und abfällige Macht nicht von irgend einem der Äonen herleiten, sondern von den Früchten, die aus der Substanz entstehen.

Against the Valentinians

Chapter XXXVIII.--Diversity in the Opinions of Secundus, as Compared with the General Doctrine of Valentinus.

Secundus is a trifle more human, as he is briefer: he divides the Ogdoad into a pair of Tetrads, a right hand one and a left hand one, one light and the other darkness. Only he is unwilling to derive the power which apostatized and fell away 1 from any one of the Aeons, but from the fruits which issued from their substance.
