24. The Basilidians: they perform the same shameless rites, from Basilides, who, together with Saturnilus, learns from the Simonians and Menandrians, adheres to the same way of thinking with them, but in some ways differs from them. He states that the heavens are three hundred and sixty-five, and gives them angelic names. For this reason the year consists of so many days, and the word "Avrasax" signifies the number 365 and is, says Basilides, a holy name.

25. The Nicolaitanes: from Nicholas, who was assigned by the apostles to the services, who, out of zeal for his wife, taught his disciples to do shameless deeds together with others, and spoke of Kavlacas, Prunicus, and other barbarous names, introducing them into the world.

26. Gnostics: they accepted the same heresies, but more than all these heresies they commit shameless deeds with fury. In Egypt they are called stratiotics and Thebionites, in the upper parts of Egypt they are called Socrates, and in others they are called Zacchaeus. Some call them Coddians, while others call them Vorvorites. They boast of Varvelo and Vero.

27. The Carpocratians: from a certain Carpocrates from Asia. He taught to commit every shamelessness and every sinful deed. If someone, he said, does not pass through everything and does not fulfill the will of all demons and angels, then he cannot ascend to the highest heaven and pass through the Principalities and Powers. He also said that Jesus took on a thinking soul, but knowing the things above, he proclaimed him here; and if anyone does such as Jesus, he is not inferior to him. The law, together with the resurrection of the dead, was denied by Carpocrates, like the Simonians and other heresies of which we have hitherto spoken. His follower was Marcellina in Rome. Secretly making images of Jesus, Paul, Homer, and Pythagoras, Carpocrates burned incense and worshipped them.

28. The Cyrinthians, also known as the Myrinthians: these are the disciples of Cyrinth and Myrynth, certain Jews who boasted of circumcision. They said that the world was created by angels and that Jesus was called Christ because of his success.

29. Nazarenes: They confess Jesus Christ, the Son of God, but in all things they live according to the law.

30. Ebionians: close to the Cyrinthians and Nazarites mentioned earlier; and the heresy of the Sampseans and Elkeseans comes into contact with them in some respects. They say that Christ and the Holy Spirit were created in heaven, that Christ dwelt in Adam and from time to time put off this Adam and put on him again. This, they say, was accomplished by Christ at His coming in the flesh. Being Jews, they use the Gospels, they disdain eating meat. They have water instead of God. As for Christ, as I have said, it is said that in His bodily coming He clothed Himself with man. They are constantly baptized in the waters, both in summer and in winter, as if for purification, like the Samaritans.

31. Valentinians: they deny the resurrection of the flesh, they reject the Old Testament, but they read the prophets and accept everything else that can be interpreted similarly to their heresy. They introduce some other fables, the names of the thirty aeons, saying that they came together as male women from the Father of all, and they are called gods and zones. Of Christ they say that He brought a body from heaven and passed through Mary as through a trumpet.

32. Secundians: Epiphanes and Isidore are in touch with them, and they use the same syzygies, they philosophize like Valentinus, but they tell some things somewhat differently from them. They also deny the flesh [of Christ].

33. Ptolemies: they are also disciples of Valentinus; Flora stands in connection with them. And they say the same thing about the syzygy as Valentinus and the Secundians; but in some ways they differ from them.

This is the table of contents of the thirteen heresies in the second part of the first kisha.

In this third section, which contains thirteen heresies, the order is as follows.

34. Mapkosei. A certain Mark was a fellow student of Colorvas. He also introduces two principles. He rejects the resurrection of the dead, and by changing the color of some visions in the bowls with the help of incantations into blue and crimson, he secretly guides deceived women. Like Valentine, he wants to produce everything from the twenty-four elements.

35. Colorvasei. And this Colorvas, while expounding the same thing in the same way, differs in some respects from the other heresies, I mean the heresies of Mark and Valentinus: he taught differently about offspring and eight.
