Epiphanius of Salamis : For even if women among them [the Montanists] are appointed to the office of bishop and presbyter by appealing to Eve, they hear the Lord saying: "Your resort shall be to your husband, and he shall rule over you." And the apostolic word has also escaped their notice: "I do not permit a woman to teach in such a way as to exercise authority over men. She is to preserve the virtue of quietness." And again, "For man is not from woman, but woman from man." — PANARION 49.3 John Chrysostom : Then, having affirmed his point, he states again other reasons and causes also, leading thee to the first creation, and saying thus: "For the man is not of the woman, but the woman of the man." But if to be of any one, is a glory to him of whom one is, much more the being an image of him. "For neither was the man created for the woman, but the woman for the man." This is again a second superiority, nay, rather also a third, and a fourth, the first being, that Christ is the head of us, and we of the woman; a second, that we are the glory of God, but the woman of us; a third, that we are not of the woman, but she of us; a fourth, that we are not for her, but she for us. — Homily on 1 Corinthians 26 Theodoret of Cyrus : Man has the first place because of the order of creation. — COMMENTARY ON THE FIRST EPISTLE TO THE CORINTHIANS 234
