Gospel of the Egyptians 5

1[] [. . .appeared from] that [place] the cloud [of the] great Light, the living power, the mother of the sacred, indestructible ones, the great power, Mirothoe, and she gave birth to him whose name I name by uttering thrice:

2IEN

3IEN

4EA

5EA

6EA,

7because this is the one, Adamas, the glowing light, who originates from the Man, the Primal Man, through whom and for whom everything came into being, apart from whom nothing came into being. The unknowable, ungraspable Father proceeded and descended from above to abrogate the deficiency.

8Then the great Logos, the self-generated God, and the indestructible Man, Adamas, merged with one another. A Logos of Man came into being, but the Man came into being through an act of speech. He presented praise to:

9the great unseen ungraspable virginal Spirit,

10and the male virgin,

11and the triple-male child,

12[] and the male [virgin], Youel,

13and Esephech, keeper of splendor,

14the child of the child,

15and the crown of its glory,

16the great Doxomedon aeon,

17and the thrones inside him,

18and the powers surrounding him,

19the glories,

20and the indestructibilities,

21and their entire Fullness that I mentioned previously,

22and the earth of the air, the receiver of God,

23where the sacred men of the great Light obtain an image,

24the men of the Father of the silent living Silence,

25the Father and their entire Fullness, as I mentioned previously.
