Re: Understanding How Epiphanius Wrote the Panarion

I think with our discovery of this cluster of 'additional references' to the Origen section we can confirm the overall pattern of secondary additions which includes the section on 'Marcionite readings' in chapter 42. What we've discovered so far: 1. Epiphanius dictated an original draft or edition o...

Re: Panarion Addition Detailing Marcion Canon Was Added Late

The next example: 4,5 But he has other downfalls too, which are more serious. He says that the human soul is preexistent, and that souls are angels and celestial powers, but have sinned and so been shut up in this body as a punishment. (6) They are sent < down > by God as a punishment, to undergo a ...

Re: Panarion Addition Detailing Marcion Canon Was Added Late

The next use is to bolster a particularly weak section that deals with a report about 'Origenists' who might or might not be followers of Origen who have dirty sexual habits drawn wholly from unreliable oral tradition: 3,1 And this is their filthy act, which deceives their own minds and is blinded b...

Re: Panarion Addition Detailing Marcion Canon Was Added Late

The next παραθήσομαι appearance is in the Ptolomean passage. The next one after that the introduction of the appended Marcionite treatise.

Re: Panarion Addition Detailing Marcion Canon Was Added Late

The next appearance: To this Defect they propose to join an unattached aeon with no female which has come here from the Pleroma in search of the soul which has come from above, from its mother Sophia whose name they like to imagine and represent as Achamoth. Him they want to call Saviour, Limit, Cro...

Re: Panarion Addition Detailing Marcion Canon Was Added Late

Similarly the next use of παραθήσομαι is consistent with it being employed by Epiphanius in a second revision of the manuscript. We read in the section dealing with the Nicolatians: For there is a Greek expression which is used of men who deflower slave women, 'He seduced so-and-so.' And the Greek s...

Re: Panarion Addition Detailing Marcion Canon Was Added Late

So there are four clear later insertions of large texts which could not have been dictated in the initial composition of the Panarion. They are: 1. section on the Valentinians 31.8.2 "Having related these few things thus far, for the rest I shall take the quotation in full from the man I have s...

Re: Panarion Addition Detailing Marcion Canon Was Added Late

So when Epiphanius speaks of " ten varieties of Gnostic, each as afflicted as the other with one plague of dreams about their syzygies, ogdoads, and male and female aeons. I shall no longer arrange the treatise by the times of the (sects') succession, but (simply) pass from one to the other&quo...

Re: A slightly different approach to Cephas/Peter in Galatia

However It is reasonable to interchange xi and kappa when transliterating into Greek because kafand qof sound identical, even in Aramaic; for instance, Aramaic kalmei (lice) is interchangeable with qalmei. https://books.google.com/books?id=7DRzBwAAQBAJ&pg=PA703&lpg=PA703&dq=%22Aramaic+ka...
