ven
unto her Propator, she rejoiced greatly, she exulted; that is why she
said, "My heart has rejoiced and my tongue has been in exultation."
Then she cried to the Power Infinite who stands hard by the aeon of the
Father, that mighty Power of Glory that the Glories call Trigenielos
(33), that is to say, Three Engendered, and who is named also Trigenes
and also Harmes. She prayed also unto Him who is concealed in every
Space that He would send him the Mother of Him who has withdrawn
Himself. The Father in secret sent him the Mystery who reclothes all
the aeons like the Glories who form the Crown Panteles, that is to say,
of Perfection, so that he [the Propator] might place the Crown upon the
head of the Indivisible [Body] hidden within her, Incorruptible and
Unengendered. With [her He sent] the mighty Power which is in her
company, she who is called Arsenogenia, who replenishes all the aeons of
Glory. Thus from him shall the Universe receive the Crown.
Then she established the Autopator Father and AEonian One; and gave unto
him the aeon of the Concealed One in which are found all things, such as
species, faces, images, forms, questions, dissemblances, and changes,
that which counts and that which is counted, that which thinks and that
which is thought. She made a vesture thereof over all which is in him,
so that he might give to him who asked him. She gave unto him ten
Powers, and nine Enneads, five AEons, and she gave unto him Light; and
that gave him power over all secret things, so that he might show mercy
to those who had fought, who had towards the aeon fled from matter,
leaving it behind them. They have fled to the aeon of the Autopator;
they have made their own the promise which has been promised by Him who
said, "He who forsakes father, mother, brother, sister, wife, children,
and riches, and takes up his cross and follows Me, shall receive the
promises that I have promised unto him, and I will give unto them the
Mystery of the Father in Secret, because they have loved that which was
truly theirs and have fled from him who pursues them with injustice."
And he [Autopator] gave them Glory, Joy, Exaltation, Jubilation, Peace,
Hope, Faith, Love, and the Truth which changes not. This is the Ennead
with which he rewarded those that fled from matter; they became happy,
they became perfect, they knew God and the Truth, they comprehended the
Mystery which works in the Man; for what cause He has revealed Himself,
