1 From the Precognition of Perfect Mind, by means of the gift and good will of the great unseen Spirit, before the self-generated one, the Perfect, True, Sacred Man (was) the first who came forth.
2 He was named Adamas, and was appointed over his first aeon together with the great self-generated God, Christ, in the first aeon, together with Harmozel, escorted by his powers,
3 and the unseen one granted him an invulnerable spiritual strength,
4 and he said: ‘I extol and praise, O unseen Spirit. Because of you the All has being; into you (will it be).
5 I praise you and the self-generated one, and the aeon, the triad, (of) the Father, the Mother, the Son, the perfect power.’
6 His son Seth was also appointed over the second aeon, together with the second light, Oroiael. Over the third aeon was appointed the seed of Seth, the souls of the holy one who dwell inside the aeon together with the third light, Daveithe.
7 Over the fourth aeon were placed the souls who were acquainted with their perfection, and who did not repent immediately, but who instead continued (unrepentant) for some time, and who repented (only) afterwards.
8 They will remain together with the light Eleleth,
9 having been assembled inside that place, extolling the unseen Spirit.
