Gospel of the Egyptians 2

1Three powers proceeded from him, being the Father, the Mother, the Son, from the living Silence, which proceeded from the indestructible Father. These proceeded [from] the Silence of the unknown Father, [and] from that place [pro]ceeded Domedon Doxomedon, [the aeon of] the aeons, and the [Light] of [their] individual powers, [and] in this way the Son [pro]ceeded fourth, the Mother [fifth, the Father] sixth.

2He was [unnoticed], yet unannounced. [He is the one] who is unsignified amidst all [the powers], the glories, and the [indestructibilities].

3From that place [pro]ceeded the three powers, [] the three Ogdoads [the Father pro]duces in Silence, together with Providence, from his lap, [ 3 ] namely, the Father, the Mother, the Son.

4The <first> Ogdoad, on whose account the triple-male child proceeded, being:

5Thought

6and Logos,

7and Indestructibility

8and Eternal [Life],

9Will,

10Mind,

11Precognition,

12the androgynous Father.

13The second Ogdoad-power:

14the Mother,

15the virgin Barbelon,

16Epititioch[. . .]ai,

17Memeneaimen, [who] oversees heaven,

18Karb[. . .],

19the power beyond interpretation,

20the unspeakable Mother.

21[She is] self-[originate . . .]. She proceeded forth. [She] agreed with the Father [of the] silent [Silence.]

22The third Ogdoad-[power]:

23the Son of the [silent Silence],

24and the crown of the silent Silence,

25[and] the glory of the Father,

26and the virtue [of the] [] [Mother].

27[He] produces, from the lap, the seven powers of the great Light, being the seven voices, and their completion is speech.

28These are the three [powers], the three Ogdoads the Father [pro]duced from his lap [by means of] his Providence. He produced them in that place.
