This word constantly occurs in the Magic Papyri, generally with another word prefixed, as σεσενγεν βαρφαραγγης (Papyrus Mimaut, l. 12, Wessely’s _Griechische Zauberpapyri_, p. 116), which C. W. King (_Gnostics and their Remains_, 2nd ed. p. 289) would translate “they who stand before the mount of Paradise” or in other words the Angels of the Presence. Amélineau (_Notices_, etc. p. 144, n. 2) will have Barpharanges to be “a hybrid word, part Chaldean and part Greek” meaning “Son of the Abyss”—which is as unlikely as the other interpretation. Footnote 654: p. 143, Amélineau (_Notices_, etc.); p. 361, Schmidt, _K.-G.S._ Footnote 655: According to Amélineau, _op. cit._, “The Book of the Great Word in Every Mystery.” Footnote 656: pp. 188-199, Amélineau, _op. cit._; Schmidt, _K.-G.S._ pp. 308-314. Footnote 657: pp. 219, 220, Amélineau, _op. cit._; Schmidt, _K.-G.S._ p. 226. She seems to be here called “the Great Virgin of the Spirit.” Cf. the Ὑπέθεντο γὰρ Αἰῶνα τινὰ ἀνώλεθρον ἐν παρθενικῷ διάγοντι πνεύματι, ὁ βαρβηλὼθ ὀνομάζουσι, “For [some of them] suppose a certain indestructible Aeon continuing in a Virgin spirit whom they call Barbelo” of Irenaeus, Bk I. c. 27, § 1, p. 222, Harvey. Footnote 658: The powers named are thus called in both the _Pistis Sophia_ and the Bruce Papyrus. See _Pistis Sophia_, pp. 248, 252 Copt.; Amélineau, _op. cit._ p. 177. Footnote 659: According to the _Pistis Sophia_ (p. 1, Copt.), 11 years elapsed between the Crucifixion and the descent of the “Vestures” upon Jesus on the Mount of Olives. We may imagine another year to have been consumed by the revelations made in the book. Footnote 660: If the “Books of Jeû” were ever written we should expect them to bear the name of Enoch, who is said to have taken them down in Paradise at the dictation of Jesus. See p. 147, n. 5, _supra_. Very possibly the expression really does refer to some of the mass of literature once passing under the name of Enoch and now lost to us. Footnote 661: Amélineau, _op. cit._ p. 72. Footnote 662: Schmidt, _K.-G.S._ p. 26. Footnote 663: Amélineau, _op. cit._ p. 211; Schmidt, _K.-G.S._ p. 322. The West or Amenti is the Egyptian name for Hades. Footnote 664: Maspero, “Egyptian Souls and their Worlds,” _Ét. Égyptol._ t. I. p. 395. Footnote 665: Maspero, “Hypogées Royaux,” _Ét. Égyptol._ t. II. pp. 148, 165. Footnote 666: _Ibid._ pp. 178, 179. Footnote 667: _Ibid._ p. 31. Footnote 668: _Ibid._ pp. 14-15. Footnote 669: _Ibid._ p. 166. To make things more difficult, the guardian sometimes had a different name for every hour. Cf. _ibid._ p. 168. Footnote 670: _Ibid._ pp. 124, n. 2, 163. For the talismans or amulets, see Maspero, “La Table d’Offrandes,” _R.H.R._ t. XXXV. (1897), p. 325. Footnote 671: Maspero, “Hyp. Roy.” pp. 113, 118. Footnote 672: _Ibid._ pp. 162, 163.
