 | | Monoimus (lived somewhere between 150 - 210) was an arabic gnostic (arabic name: Mun'im), who was known to usonly from one account in Theodoret (Haereticarum Fabularum Compendium i.18) until a lost work of anti-heretical writings (Refutations of All Heresies, book 8, chapter V) by Hippolytus was found. |
 | | Hippolytus claims Monoimus was a follower of Tatian, and that his cosmologicalsystem was derived from that of the Pythagoreans, which indeed seem probable.But it was also clearly inspired by christianity, monism and gnosis. |
 | | According to Monoimus, the world is created from the Monad (or iota, or Yod meaning"one horn"), a tittle that brings forth the duad, triad, tetrad, pentad, hexad, heptad, ogdoad, ennead, up to ten, producing adecad. |
