Yes, I know there's lots of attestation to Chrestianity. But does that apply to both non-orthodox early Chrestianity and proto-orthodoxy-and-early-orthodoxy? or just one: to (i) non-orthodox early Chrestianity or (ii) to orthodoxy?

Yes, I have. G.Philip is said to be Valentinian or align with Valentinian theology and is dated to the 2nd or 3rd centuries AD/CE.
Chrestianity it is, Mac. It certainly isn't Christianity. Why split hairs over alleged orthodoxy there, when we all know that such only distinguishes itself in due time alone?

Funny how you throw alleged dating into my face when asked about the content of a text - you're dragging this into a context of your own making while avoiding any and all comments to the content itself

I've seen that before... and it implies that you want to evade the content.
The dating is irrelevant, especially since we all know that Christianity didn't come into being prior to 2nd half of 2nd CE at the earliest
