with the truth which met one another, are thou my Lord who met Iohannes
on the day, thou being about to receive baptism (and Iohannes himself).
But thou also with Iohannes [113^b] are the righteousness with the peace
who kissed one another.
The truth burst forth out of the earth, and the righteousness looked out
of the heaven, namely, the time (at) which thou ministeredst to thy own
self: thou madest form of Gabriel, thou lookedst out upon me out of the
heaven, thou spakest with me, and thou having spoken with me, thou
burstedst forth in me, namely the truth, namely the power of Sabaoth the
good, this which becometh in thy material body, namely the truth which
burst forth out of the earth.
It happened therefore, [114^a] Jesus having heard these words, saying

[114^b] But these are the names which I shall give from the Boundless
(One downwards). Write them with a sign, that the sons of God should be
manifested from this place (onwards). This is the name of the Deathless
(One) ααα ωωω. And this is the name of the sound by which the Perfect
Man was moved ιιι. But these are the interpretations of the names of
these Mysteries. The first is ααα. Its interpretation is φφφ. The second
is μμμ or is ωωω. Its interpretation is ααα. The third is ψψψ. Its
interpretation is οοο. The fourth is φφφ. Its interpretation is ννν. The
fifth is δδδ. Its interpretation is ααα. He who (is) upon the throne is
ααα. This is the interpretation of the second αααα αααα αααα. This is
the interpretation of the whole name.
