Apocryphon of John (II, 1) 23.34-19

"And he (Adam) saw the woman
beside him. And in that moment
the luminous Epinoia appeared, and she lifted
the veil which lay over his mind.
And he became sober from the drunkenness of darkness.
And he recognized his counter-image, and he said,
'This is indeed bone of my bones
and flesh of my flesh.' Therefore
the man will leave his father and his
mother, and he will cleave to his wife, and they will
both be one flesh. For they
will send him his consort,
and he will leave his father and his mother. "
