Holy Scripture

Genesis 1:2

A church father on this verse
“For the depth and the darkness underlay the earth. Since the deep was under the earth, and the darkness was over the deep, undoubtedly both the darkness and the deep were under the earth. For since the waters were over the earth, which they covered, while the spirit was over the waters, both the spirit and the waters…”
Tertullian, 3th c. — Against Hermogenes
