CERDONIANS , a Gnostic sect, founded by Cerdo, a Syrian, who came to Rome about 137, but concerning whose history little is known. They held that there are two first causes--the perfectly good and the perfectly evil. The latter is also the creator of the world, the god of the Jews , and the author of the Old Testament.
