On the Antitactae

There were also certain others, whom they called Antitactae, impious men who named the great unknown God, as they themselves say, their own father; and that this one is good, and God the maker; and that one of those who had come to be by him sowed tares; who also, as they themselves say, clothed us all with evils, arraying himself against our most good Father. For this reason we too array ourselves against him, opposing his laws in vengeance for the Father. And since this one said, “You shall not commit adultery,” we, he says, shall commit adultery for the dissolution of his commandment. One would reasonably name these inventors of evils, who join blasphemies to their licentiousnesses.
