Basilides, a mid-second-century proponent of gnosticism at Alexandria, claims to follow secret traditions derived from the Apostles Peter and Matthias.

He produces a major work, Exegetica, a biblical commentary in twenty-four books (of which only fragments survive).

His followers form a sect, the Basilideans.
