    So it is manifeſt that the Heretical Valentinians underſtood their Maſter Plato, when they made their Choical Men to periſh immediately upon this Diſſolution from the Body. Theſe Choical Men were ſuppoſed deſtitute even of the Pnoe. They are the ſame with thoſe which were call'd Hylical.

    Gnosticism reveals the same conception of a triple order of humanity... Upon this psychological basis, Valentinus seeks to outline a philosophy of history in which Pagans assume the lowest position of hylical men, Jews the next rank of the psychical, while the highest order of the πνευματικοί (pneumatikoí) is reserved for those who, redeemed from the flesh and the low, have become Christians.

    The opposition between spirit and soul is due to the latter having a very fine substance. It is more akin to the "hylical" body and is densior et crassior (denser and grosser) than the spirit.

词源

From hyle + -ical, originally translating Latin hylicus in notes on Irenaeus's Against Heretics after the manner of earlier psychical and pneumatical, from Ancient Greek ὑλικός (hulikós, “wooden, material”), from ῡ̔́λη (hū́lē, “wood, matter”) + -ικός (-ikós, “-ic, forming adjectives”).
