(310-403) "In 367 his reputation for asceticism and learning brought about his nomination as Bishop of Constantia (Salamis) the metropolis of the Island of Cyprus. He wrote against Origen and Gnostics. He identified the existence of the Gospel of Judas Iscariot", and "Birth of Mary", {"Gospel of Mary"} which he says describes horrible and deadly things. (He admits to not having seen the Gnostic texts, but claims to know about them. ) He wrote in regard to an unidentified Gnostic Gospel.... "Another Gospel (?) of similar tendancy was that which was used by the nameless "Adversary of the Law, and the Prophets" {Gnostics} whom Augustine refutes, and from which the following is quoted. " The Apostles having asked the Lord what they were to think about the Jewish prophets, who were thought in the past to have fortold his coming, he was troubled that they even yet had such thoughts, and answered: Ye have given up (let go) the living on who is before your eyes and talk idly of the dead". Epiphanius, also identifies the "Apocalypse of Paul", as being a book writtenby Canites, or Cananites, (Canaanites) and used by Gnostics. Paul is quoted in the text to have been taken up to the level of the "Third Heaven", which corresponds to the Nag Hammadi text. It does not correspond to the other "Apocalypse of Paul", which fragments exist in Greek, Latin, and Coptic. The Canaanites were an ancient tribe that lived in the basic area that is Israel today.
