Stromata
Land into which the Magi came, led by a star, to find the Saviour.
At its head stood the prophets of the Egyptians, the Chaldeans among the Assyrians, the Druids among the Galatians, the Samanaeans among the Bactrians, the philosophers of the Celts, and the Magi of the Persians (who by their magic foretold the birth of the Saviour, coming into the land of Judaea led by a star), and among the Indians the gymnosophists, and other barbarian philosophers besides.

Region of the Jews from which Paul is said to have been taken and where the Creator's prophetic Spirit operated until Christ.
And was not Paul himself then destined — to be taken from Judaea, that is, from Judaism, unto the building of Christianity, about to lay the one foundation which is Christ?
as the very fact testifies, that thenceforth nothing of the Creator's Spirit breathes among them, the wise and prudent architect and counsellor and prophet having been taken away from Judaea, so that this is the meaning of, The law and the prophets were until John.
