Hippolytus, Ante-Nicene Fathers Vol. V, Hippolytus… (1885)
“ Neither shall I pass over the witless philosophy of these men; but, after explaining it, I shall prove that those who attempt to form a system of religion out of these (aforesaid elements) , are disciples of a school [5] weak and full of knavery.Footnotes ↑ Colarbasus is afterwards mentioned in company with Marcus the heretic, at the beginning and end of book vi. of The Refutation.↑ This word (σχεδιάζουσι) , more than once used by Hippolytus, is applied to anything done offhand, e.g., an extempore speech. It therefore might be made to designate immaturity of opinion. ”
