. . . it is to be observed, that both the Second and Third part of
the Sohar are a mystical Representation, as I take it, of God the Father and
the Logos. The first is called the Ancient, and the Ancient of Days; and Adam
Kadman, or the most Ancient Adam; as likewise the most Holy one, or, Holiest of
All. But the usual Name by which this glorious Person is called in the Sohar,
is that of Arich Anpin, which signifies one with a long Face; or, as the Sohar
explains it, one whose Face is infinitely extended or every where. The Latin
Translator renders Arich Anpin by a compounded Greek word, of the same
signification, and calls him always Macroprosopus. The Second is the Logos, who
is constantly in the Sohar, spoken of by the Name of Seir Anpin; that is, short
fac'd, or confined, as it were, one way, in his looking toward Men; which
therefore the Latin Translation renders by the Name Microprosopus. (Robert
Fleming, Christology. A Discourse Concerning Christ: Considered I In
Himself, II In His Government, and III In Relation to His Subjects and their
Duty to Him [London: Andrew Bell, 1705], 238-39)
