The Gnostikos (Greek: Γνωστικός, meaning The Knower or The Gnostic) is a 4th-century work by the early Christian monk Evagrius Ponticus.
The Gnostikos is a brief treatise consisting of 50 chapters, which contain exhortations for experienced monks.
[2] It also has collections of quotes from five theologians, who are Gregory of Nazianzus, Basil of Caesarea, Athanasius, Serapion of Thmuis, and Didymus the Blind.
Much of the original Greek text has been lost, although the Syriac version is complete.
[3] Other modern translations include Slovenian,[4] Polish,[5] Italian,[6] and Dutch.
