8.  God then is One, the Father, the Almighty, whom the brood of heretics have dared to blaspheme.  Yea, they have dared to blaspheme the Lord of Sabaoth The reference is to Manes, of whom his disciple Turbo says (Archelai Disput. § 10), “the name Sabaoth, which is honourable and mighty with you, he declares to be the nature of man, and the parent of lust:  for which reason the simple, he says, worship lust, and think it to be a god.”, who sitteth above the Cherubim Ps. lxxx. 1.:  they have dared to blaspheme the Lord Adonai ᾽Αδωναΐ, Heb. ינָדֹאַ, “the Lord,” an old form of the Plural of majesty, used of God only.:  they have dared to blaspheme Him who is in the Prophets the Almighty God παντοκράτορα, Heb. ידַּשׁ לא”, El-Shaddai, “God Almighty.”.  But worship thou One God the Almighty, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.  Flee from the error of many gods, flee also from every heresy, and say like Job, But I will call upon the Almighty Lord, which doeth great things and unsearchable, glorious things and marvellous without number Job v. 8, 9.  Cyril’s quotation agrees with the Codex Alexandrinus of the Septuagint, which has παντοκράτορα , “Almighty,” while the Vatican and other mss. read τὸν πάντων δεσπότην., and, For all these things there is honour from the Almighty Job xxxvii. 23:  God hath upon Him terrible majesty (R.V.).  The Vatican and Alexandrine mss. of the Septuagint read ἐπὶ τούτοις μεγάλη ἡ δόξα καὶ τιμὴ παντοκράτορος.  (For these things great is the glory and honour of the Almighty.)  But Cyril’s text is the same as the Aldine and Complutensian.:  to Whom be the glory for ever and ever.  Amen.
