Æon
(Greek, aion), eternity, an immeasurable length of time;
any being that is eternal. Basilides reckons there have been 365 such
æons, or gods; but Valentinius restricts the number to 30. Sometimes
written “eon.”
In geology each series of rocks covers an æon, or an indefinite and
immeasurable period of time.
