 1    16|    Manichaean teaching about the Moon is impossible. ~If, moreover,
 2    16|      moreover, as they say, "the Moon receives the Light which
 3    16|  gradually till the time of full moon, it may well be because
 4    16|      collect and exist while the Moon is being emptied ? It must
 5    17|       Director' has arranged the Moon's function! ~But understand
 6    17|      been right, namely that the Moon should go and empty out (
 7    17|       such as this), behold, the Moon is worn out with going and
 8    17|          and coming, and at full moon it is then emptied in such
 9    17|        bright and lightly-moving Moon, at the time of full moon
10    17|        Moon, at the time of full moon her child is produced in
11    17|      hence till the time of full moon ? ~
12    18|         of Light received by the Moon always the same ? ~And how
13    18|       the Refining is great, the Moon should receive more, that
14    18|     filled till the time of full moon, it would be right that
15    18|        then and now, how was the Moon then and now uniformly filled
16    18|       uniformly filled till full moon ? And when the Refiners
17    18|       was not less Light for the Moon, nor to-day when the Manichaeans
18    18|      there is no increase in the Moon to-day though they exist,
19    18|          was no lessening in the Moon when they did not exist. [
20    18|           P.18, l.31.] So by the Moon, fixed in the Height which
21    18|     Manichaeans are alike to the Moon, the lying Teaching is refuted
22    18|        they do not exist for the Moon, for which they imagine
23    18|         the Lord of the [P. 19.] Moon. Thus from the Luminaries
24    19|    opposes Mani's view about the Moon. ~And why, indeed, is there
25    19|          why, indeed, is there a Moon for twenty-nine days and
26    19|        make any lessening in the Moon, nor does the increase of
27    20|     passes from dealing with the Moon to the Sun . . . that it
28    20|      receives the Light from the Moon ; right worthy5 are these
29    20|        Parts in one day from the Moon ? But, perhaps, the Sun
30    20|        might receive it, but the Moon is unable to give it; and
31    20|         Light ? For, behold, the Moon is clearly marked even by
32    21|      true purpose of the Sun and Moon. ~Let us forsake then those
33    21|        reckoned according to the Moon, and after them all nations
34    21|      desert the reckoning of the Moon. And, therefore, even if
35    21|  division of the day. But by the Moon the months are indicated.
36    21|      months are indicated by the Moon. [The Sun marks the days
37    21|        has ended, or begun. [The Moon marks the months not the
38    21|    months not the days.] But the Moon, when it is full and wanes,
39    21|          does it happen that the Moon rises at the third or fourth
40    21|     number the days, as also the Moon to number the months, and
41    21|  completed in its course, so the Moon also is completed in its
42    21|         beginning to its end the Moon produces thirty days. But
43    21|  consists of thirty days and the Moon completes thirty days in
44    21|     waxing, it is clear that the Moon is the mother and parent
45    22|       eleven days lacking in the Moon, and why are there three
46    22|         lack which exists in the Moon months are intercalated, [
47    22|     exactness) the course of the Moon (also) by its swiftness
48    22|        not [P. 25.] found in the Moon, which is dependent on the
49    22|        between the months of the Moon and the numbering of the
50    23|                           If the Moon is a vessel how can the
51    23|       wane? ~And inasmuch as the Moon seems to be made for the
52    23|          thing. And because "the Moon is a vessel into whose midst
53    23|          And since they call the Moon the Ship of Light, let a
54    23|          who do not see that the Moon is made for the numbering
55    24|                The purity of the Moon and Sun. ~And if they say
56    24|        they say that because the Moon is very 'pure and ethereal,'
57    24|        and more refined than the Moon ? [Cf. p. lxxxiv.] And it
58    25|     Bardaisan and Mani about the Moon. ~And which view shall we
59    25|    Bardaisan, who says about the Moon that it is an Earth and
60    25|          Mani, who says that the Moon is filled with those who
61    28|       goes from the mouth to the Moon, and from the Moon to the
62    28|        to the Moon, and from the Moon to the Sun, to be refined,
63    28| dependent on the Refining of the Moon, why is it necessary that
64    28|         that it should go to the Moon, and from the Moon to the
65    28|        to the Moon, and from the Moon to the Sun, and (why does
66    28|       for fifteen days while the Moon is being emptied, and then
67    28|          how does one (i.e., the Moon) know how to go, and does
68    28|      even to find its way to the Moon, but it would require a
69    28|        it, and deposit it in the Moon. But if they are both (i.e.,
