Hippolytus

“ Chapter V.—Monoïmus; Man the Universe, According to Monoïmus; His System of the Monad.
Monoïmus [1] the Arabian was far removed from the glory of the high-sounding poet. (For Monoïmus) supposes that there is some such man as the poet (calls) Oceanus, expressing himself somehow thus:—
“Oceans, source of gods and source of men.” [2]
Changing these (sentiments) into other words, Monoïmus says that man is the universe. Now the universe is the originating cause of all things, unbegotten, incorruptible, (and) eternal. ”

“ Man was, and his son was generated; just as one may say, Fire was, and, independently of time, and undesignedly, and without being predestinated, light was generated simultaneously with the existence of the fire. ”
