"But Yaltabaoth
had a multitude of faces, more than all of them,
so that he could put a face before
all of them, according to his desire, when he is in
the midst of seraphs. He shared
his fire with them;
therefore he became lord over them. Because of the power of
the glory he possessed of his mother's
light, he called
himself God. And he did not
obey the place from which he came. And
he united
the seven powers in his thought with the authorities which were with him.
And when he spoke it happened. And
he named each power beginning
with the highest: the first is
goodness with the first (authority), Athoth;
the second is foreknowledge with
the second one, Eloaio; and the third
is divinity with the third one, Astraphaio; the fourth is
lordship with the fourth one, Yao;
the fifth is kingdom with the fifth one,
Sabaoth; the sixth is envy with
the sixth one, Adonein; the seventh
is understanding with the seventh one,
Sabbateon. And these have
a firmament corresponding to each aeon-heaven. They were
given names according to the glory which belongs to heaven
for the [destruction of the] powers. And in the names which were
given to [them by] their Originator
there was power. But the names which were given
them according to the glory which belongs to heaven mean
for them destruction and powerlessness.
Thus they have two names."
