The Fashioning of This World Yadabaoth united with the thoughtlessness (aponoia) within him. He begot ruling authorities (exousia) Modeling them on the incorruptible realms above. The first is Athoth The second is Harmas [called the eye of flame] The third is Kalilaumbri The fourth is Yabel The fifth is Adonaiu [called Sabaoth] The sixth is Cain [called the sun] The seventh is Abel The eighth is Abrisene The ninth is Yobel The tenth is Armupiel The eleventh is Melcheir-adonein The twelfth is Belias Who rules over the very depth of Hades. He made the first seven rulers to reign in the seven spheres of heaven. He made the next five rulers to reign in the five depths of the abyss. He shared a portion of his fire with them, But shared none of the power of Light he had received from his mother. [He is ignorant darkness. When the Light mingled into the darkness the darkness shone. When darkness mixed with the Light, the Light diminished, No longer Light nor darkness but dim.] This dim ruler has three names: Yaldabaoth is the first. Saklas is the second. Samael is the third. He is blasphemous through his thoughtlessness. He said “I am God, and there is no God but me!” Since he didn’t know where his own Power originated. gnosis.org/naghamm/apocjn-davies.html
