Tertulliani adversus Valentinianos: Text, translation, and commentary (PhD dissertation, February 1971), Text, chapter vii, page 33Consequently, he himself is called "Father" and "Beginning of the universe" and (as his proper name) "Monogenes" (i.e., only begotten), though not properly since he is not the only legitimate child. Another was born at the same time, a female whose name is Truth and for that reason, Monogenes might have been named Protogenes much more aptly as being the first born. — ibidem (Translation), page 83
