Description:Excerpt from Journal of the American Oriental Society, 1918, Vol. 38 Epiphanius prefixes to the account of the Valentinians which he copied from Irenaeus a brief account of his own composition, presumably based upon a document then in his hands, and subjoins a copy of a portion of this document. It is of peculiar interest as being one of the very few scraps of Valentinian literature that have survived and the only one that deals at any length with the essential features of the system. Yet it has been strangely ignored by modern students of Gnosticism; indeed the only recent study of it known to me is that of Otto Dibelius (Studien zur Geschichte der Valentinianer: II. Der Valentinianische Sendbrief, in ZNTW 9 (1908), p. 329-340), in which he provides a translation of the very difficult text with a brief discussion of the doctrine and of its place in the history of Valentinianism. The anonymous author gives a list of the Greek names of the thirty Aeons differing somewhat from those preserved by Irenaeus (1. 1. 2-3; p. 8-11) and Hippolytus (6. 29-30). The document concludes with a series of words, written in Greek letters but not Greek in form, which Epiphanius supposed to be the original names of the Aeons, the Greek names being translations of these. His statement seems not to have been questioned by any one until the appearance of Holl's edition of the Panarion.
