Gospel of the Egyptians 10

1Five thousand years later, the great light Eleleth said, “Let there be a ruler over Chaos and Hades,” and a cloud appeared [] [named] the hylic Sophia [. . .].

2[She] looked out over the regions [of Chaos]. Her face resembled [. . .] in her form [. . .] blood, and [the great] angel Gamaliel said [to the great Gabriel], the minister of [the great light] Oroiael. He [said, “Let an] angel come forth [to] rule over Chaos [and Hades].”

3Then the cloud [complied and produced] two monads, each [possessing] light. [. . . the throne] she had established in the cloud [above].

4Then Sakla, the great [angel, saw] the great demon [who accompanied him, Nebr]uel, and [together] they became a procreating spirit of the earth. [They begot] ministering angels.

5Sakla [said] to the great [demon] Nebruel, “Let [the] twelve aeons come into being in [the . . .] aeon, worlds [. . .].”

6[. . .] the great angel [Sakla] said, by the will of the self-generated one, [] “There shall [be] the [. . .] numbering seven [. . .],” and he said to the [great angels], “Go, and [let each] of you rule over his (own) [world].”

7Each [of these] twelve [angels] came [forth]:

8[The first] angel is Ath[oth]. [He is the one] whom [the great] generations of humans call [. . .].

9[The] second is Harmas, [who] is [fire-eye].

10The third [is Galila].

11[The] fourth is Yobel.

12[The fifth is] Adonaios, who is [called] Sabaoth.

13The sixth [is Cain, whom] the [great generations of] humans call the sun.

14The [seventh is Abel].

15The eighth is Akiressina.

16The [ninth is Yubel].

17The tenth is Harm[oupiael].

18[The] eleventh is Arch[ir-Adonin].

19The twelfth [is Belias].

20[These are] the ones stationed over Hades [and Chaos], and after the foundation [of the world], Sakla said to his [angels], “I, even I, am a [jealous] God, and apart from me nothing has [come into being,” because he] [] relied on his (own) substance.

21Then a voice came from on high, saying, “The Man exists, and the Son of the Man.”

22The first mold was formed because of the descent of the image above, which reflects its voice on high—the image that peered out through the peering out of the image above. Repentance came into being because of this.
