Colorbasus...said that when God revealed himself, he revealed himself in the form of Anthropos. Still others, Irenaeus reports maintained that "the primal father of the whole, the primal beginning, and the primal incomprehensible, is called Anthropos...and that this is the great and abstruse mystery, namely, that the power, which is above all others, and contains all others in its embrace, is called Anthropos."
