Diversity in the Opinions of Secundus, as Compared with the General Doctrine of Valentinus.
Against the Valentinians — Tertullian
Secundus is a trifle more human, as he is briefer: he divides the Ogdoad into a pair of Tetrads, a right hand one and a left hand one, one light and the other darkness. Only he is unwilling to derive the power which apostatized and fell away [6931] from any one of the Æons, but from the fruits which issued from their substance.
Footnotes:
