A permanently unexpandable stub. This is being better handled at Ptolemy (disambiguation) where the link to Valentinius. This entry is superfluous and might well be deleted. --Wetman 19:41, 16 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Removing Superfluous Gonstic theologies. Though differences do exist between Ptolemy and Valentinius exegesis they exist under the same threefold schema. Ptolemy is usefull in comparrison to Valentinius as there is ambiguity toward authorship. Leave this entry to support further specific biographical data. -- Olen Watson 22:09, 13 Aug 2005

"This system becomes the basis of a wild exegesis which discovers in the prologue of St. John's Gospel the first Ogdoad." Such exegesis is no more wild than the Fundamentalist Christians' claim that the Old Testament predicted the coming of non-earthly Messiah. Whoever wrote this is clearly writing with a bias. I suggest "wild" be removed from this line.

[edit] This is not a stub

In my opinion, this article is not a stub, because we don't know more about the gnostic Ptolemy.
