Little is known about Monoimus, a 2nd century Arab Gnostic. The only surviving fragment of his teachings is quoted in The Gnostic Gospels by Elaine Pagels:

Abandon the search for God and the creation and other matters of a similar sort. Look for him by taking yourself as the starting point. Learn who it is within you who makes everything his own and says, “My God, my mind, my thought, my soul, my body.” Learn the sources of sorrow:, joy, love, hate . . . If you carefully investigate these matters you will find him in yourself.
