Chapter
VII.—Tatian, Cataphrygians, Cataproclans,
Catæschinetans.
To all these heretics is added one Tatian, a
brother-heretic. This man was Justin Martyr’s
disciple. After Justin’s death he began to cherish
different opinions from his. For he wholly savours of Valentinus;
adding this, that Adam cannot even attain salvation: as if, when
the branches become salvable,8409
| 8409 Salvi. Perhaps if it
be questionable whether this word may be so rendered in a correct
Latinist, it may be lawful to render it so in so incorrect a one as our
present author. | the root were
not!
Other heretics swell the list who are called
Cataphrygians, but their teaching is not uniform. For there are (of
them) some who are called Cataproclans;8410
| 8410 i.e. followers of
Proclus. |
there are others who are termed Catæschinetans.8411
| 8411 i.e. followers of
Æschines. So this writer takes “Cataphryges” to mean
followers of the Phrygians.” | These have a blasphemy common, and a
blasphemy not common, but peculiar and special. The common
blasphemy lies in their saying that the Holy Spirit was in the apostles
indeed, the Paraclete was not; and in their saying that the Paraclete
has spoken in Montanus more things than Christ brought forward into
(the compass of) the Gospel, and not merely more, but likewise better
and greater. But the particular one they who follow Æschines have;
this, namely, whereby they add this, that they affirm Christ to be
Himself Son and Father.E.C.F. INDEX & SEARCH
