"ho monogenes," phesi, "Theos, ho on eis ton kolpon tou patros, ekeinos
exegesato." epeide gar ephe "monogene" kai "Theon," tithesin euthys, "ho
on en tois kolpois tou patros."]--So v. 137, 768. And yet he reads
[Greek: huios] in v. 365, 437: vi. 90.

[526] He uses it seventeen times in his Comm. on Isaiah (ii. 4, 35, 122,
&c.), and actually so reads St. John i. 18 in one place (Opp. vi. 187).
Theodoret once adopts the phrase (Opp. v. 4).

[530] Who quoted Arius' words:--'Subsistit ante tempora et aeones

Tischendorf's reference.

[531] The reading [Greek: Huios] is established by unanswerable
evidence.

[532] The Gnostics Basilides and Valentinus were the direct precursors
of Apolonius, Photinus, Nestorius, &c., in assailing the Catholic
doctrine of the Incarnation. Their heresy must have been actively at
work when St. John wrote his first (iv. 1, 2, 3) and second (ver. 7)
Epistles.
