Unfortunately, I already have a poorly scanned image of the file.

An update for those who care about the super special comparative edition of Irenaeus in English, Latin & Greek, I am about half way through Book 1.

My favorite passage is

English ANF
Latin Harvey
Greek Epiphanius
1.11.4. Iu, Iu! Pheu, Pheu! 1.11.4. Iu iu? et Pheu pheu? 1.11.4. Ἰοῦ ἰοῦ, καὶ φεῦ φεῦ.

Plase please please, Stephan, tell us how the Greek tells us that Gnostics worshipped the Jewish God IAO and the Korean God PHU (whose consort was KUNG), but the Latins recoiled back, saying Eww! and made a great stink of it!
