Reading Scripture: Types and Figures

Hippolytus, Refutation of All Heresies 7

Hippolytus · c. 170–c. 235 AD

What the pride of the Encratites amounts to is this: their doctrines were put together from themselves, not from the holy scriptures, but from the naked sophists among the Indians.

Greek

Τίς ἡ τῶν Ἐγκρατιτῶν κενοδοξία, καὶ ὅτι ἐξ αὐτῶν καὶ οὐκ ἐξ ἁγίων γραφῶν τὰ δόγματα αὐτῶν συνέστηκεν, [ἀλλ᾿ ἐκ τῶν παρ᾿ Ἰνδοῖς γυμνοσοφιστῶν.]
