Simon Magus
Simon the Sorcerer or Simon the Magician, in Latin Simon Magus, (Greek Σίμων ὁ μάγος) was a Samaritan magus or religious figure and a convert to Christianity, baptised by Philip the Evangelist, whose later confrontation with Peter is recorded in . The sin of simony, or paying for position and influence in the church, is named for Simon. The ''Apostolic Constitutions'' also accuses him of lawlessness.〔''Constitutions of the Holy Apostles'', vi. § 4, 16.〕 According to ''Recognitions'', Simon's parents were named Antonius and Rachel.〔''Recognitions'', Book 2.〕
Surviving traditions about Simon appear in orthodox texts, such as those of Irenaeus, Justin Martyr, Hippolytus, and Epiphanius, where he is often regarded as the source of all heresies. Justin wrote that nearly all the Samaritans in his time were adherents of a certain Simon of Gitta, a village not far from Flavia Neapolis. According to Josephus, Gitta (also spelled Getta)〔Flavius Josephus "The Works of Flavius Josephus" London: R. Penny (1733) Page 1008 Index: "Gitta see Getta"〕 was settled by the tribe of Dan.〔John Gill "An Exposition of the Whole Old Testament" London: George Keith (1780) Vol. 3, page 134: "This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Dan. Before described by its cities, which were in it. This tribe was bounded by Ephraim on the north, by Judah on the east, by Simeon on the south, and by the Mediterranean sea on the west. Josephus (h) says, the Danites enjoyed the vale which lies to the setting sun, bounded by Azotus and Doris, and all Jamnia and Getta, from Accaron (or Ekron) to the mountain from whence the tribe of Judah begins."〕〔Flavius Josephus "The Famous and Memorable Workes of Iosephvs" G.Bishop, S.Waterson, P. Short and Tho. Adams. (1602) - Page 106: "To them of Dan was assigned the valley that is extended to the Westward, and is terminated by the Cities of Azoth and Dor, that containeth all the countrey of Iamnia and Gitta, from Akaron even unto that mountaine where beginneth the tribe of Iuda."〕 Irenaeus held him as being one of the founders of Gnosticism and the sect of the Simonians.〔(''Catholic Encyclopedia'' article on Simon Magus ).〕〔(''Catholic Encyclopedia'' article on St. Justin Martyr ).〕〔''Dictionary of Christian Biography'', Vol. 4, p. 682.〕〔''Hastings' Dictionary of the Apostolic Church'', Vol. 2, p. 496.〕 Hippolytus quotes from a work he attributes to Simon or his followers the Simonians, ''Apophasis Megale'', or ''Great Declaration''. According to the early church heresiologists, Simon is also supposed to have written several lost treatises, two of which bear the titles ''The Four Quarters of the World'' and ''The Sermons of the Refuter''.
In apocryphal works including the ''Acts of Peter'', Pseudo-Clementines, and the ''Epistle of the Apostles'', Simon also appears as a formidable sorcerer with the ability to levitate and fly at will.
