Simonians
The Simonians were a Gnostic sect of the 2nd century which regarded Simon Magus as its founder and traced its doctrines, known as Simonianism, back to him. The sect flourished in Syria, in various districts of Asia Minor and at Rome. In the 3rd century remnants of it still existed,〔Origen, ''Contra Celsum'', I, 57; VI, 11.〕 which survived until the 4th century.
Justin Martyr wrote in his Apology (152 AD), the sect of the Simonians appears to have been formidable, for he speaks four times of their founder, Simon.〔(Dictionary of Christian Biography, Vol. 4, p. 682 ).〕〔(Hastings' Dictionary of the Apostolic Church, Vol 2, p. 496 ).〕
The Simonians are mentioned by Hegesippus;〔In Eusebius of Caesarea, ''Church History'', IV, xxii.〕 their doctrines are quoted and opposed in connection with Simon Magus by Irenaeus,〔''Adversus haereses'', I, xxii.〕 by the ''Philosophumena'',〔Hippolytus, ''Philosophumena'', VI, ix-xx; X, xii.〕 and later by Epiphanius of Salamis.〔"Haer.", xxii.〕 Origen also mentions that some of the sect were called Heleniani.〔Origen, ''Contra Celsum'', v. 62.〕
==The Great Declaration==
In the ''Philosophumena'' of Hippolytus, Simon's doctrine is recorded according to his reputed work, ''The Great Declaration'', as it existed in the 2nd century. As Hippolytus himself in more than one place〔Hippolytus, ''Philosophumena'', iv. 51, vi. 20.〕 points out, it is an earlier form of the Valentinian doctrine, but there are things reminiscent of Aristotelian and Stoic physics.
