9), and the second in the twenty-seventh chapter, 'My hour is not yet come' ([Greek: oupo aekei aeora mon] = John ii.
4).

Both of these passages are instances of the exegesis by which the Basilidian doctrines were defended.
The real question is here, as in regard to the Synoptics, whether the quotations were made by Basilides himself or by his disciples, 'Isidore and his crew.' The second instance I am disposed to think may possibly be due to the later representatives of this school, because, though the quotation is introduced by [Greek: phaesi] in the singular, and though Basilides himself can in no case be excluded, still there is nothing in the chapter to identify the subject of [Greek: phaesi] specially with him, and in the next sentence Hippolytus writes, 'This is that which they understand ([Greek: ho kat' autous nenoaemenos]) by the inner spiritual man,' &c.

But the earlier instance is different.

There Basilides himself does seem to be specially singled out.
He is mentioned by name only two sentences above that in which the quotation occurs.

Hippolytus is referring to the Basilidian doctrine of the origin of things.
