On this doctrine of
the Manicheans see Archelaus (Disputatio, cap. 42), Epiphanius
(Hæres. lxvi. § 81). Compare Clement. Hom.
xv. cap. 9: “To all of us possessions are
sins.” Plato (Laws, V. 743): “I can
never agree with them that the rich man will be really happy, unless he
is also good: but for one who is eminently good to be also
extremely rich is impossible.”
