"And the origin of the demons
which are in the whole body is determined to be four:
heat, cold, wetness,
and dryness. And the mother of all of them is matter.
And he who reigns over the heat (is) Phloxopha;
and he who reigns over the cold
is Oroorrothos; and he who reigns over
what is dry (is) Erimacho; and he who reigns
over the wetness (is) Athuro. And the mother of all of these,
Onorthochrasaei, stands in their midst,
since she is illimitable, and she mixes
with all of them. And she is truly matter,
for they are nourished by her.
"The four chief demons are: Ephememphi, who
belongs to pleasure, Yoko, who belongs to desire,
Nenentophni, who belongs to grief, Blaomen,
who belongs to fear. And the mother of them all is
Aesthesis-Ouch-Epi-Ptoe. And from the four
demons passions came forth.
And from grief (came) envy, jealousy,
distress, trouble, pain,
callousness, anxiety, mourning,
etc. And from pleasure
much wickedness arises, and empty
pride, and similar things.
And from desire (comes) anger, wrath,
and bitterness, and bitter passion,
and unsatedness, and similar things.
And from fear (comes) dread,
fawning, agony, and shame. All of these
are like useful things as well as evil things.
But the insight into their true (character) is Anaro,
who is the head of the material soul,
for it belongs with the seven senses, Ouch-Epi-Ptoe.
"This is the number of the angels:
together they are 365. They
all worked on it until,
limb for limb, the natural and
the material body was completed by them. Now there are
other ones in charge over the remaining passions
whom I did not mention to you. But if you
wish to know them, it is written in
the book of Zoroaster. And
all the angels and demons worked
until they had constructed the natural body.
And their product was completely
inactive and motionless for a long time."
