Page 219 of 526

And he habituates himself to a very cynical1050 mode of life, and almost in nothing differs from Marcion, as appertaining both to his slanders, and the regulations enacted concerning marriage.
Notes
- 1050
The allusion here is to the shamelessness of the Cynics in regard to sexual intercourse.
