Theognostus of Alexandria, Ante-Nicene Fathers Vol. VI, From His Seven Books of Hypotyposes or Outlines… (1885)
“ Athanasius introduces this fragment in the following terms:—Learn then, ye Christ-opposing Arians, that Theognostus, a man of learning, did not decline to use the expression “of the substance” (ἐκ τῆς οὐσίας) . For, writing of the Son in the second book of his Outlines, he has spoken thus: The substance of the Son.—Tr.↑ οὐσία.↑ ἔξωθεν ἐφευρεθεῖσα.↑ ἐκ μὴ ὄντων ἐπεισήχθη.↑ The words in italics were inserted by Routh from a Catena on the Epistle to the Hebrews, where they are ascribed to Theognostus: “He Himself” is the Son.↑ ἀπόῤῥοια. ”
