And that Mystery indeed is that which knoweth because of what despoiled
themselves all that Incorruptible (ones), being twelve Places, and
because of what they placed them being distributed one after another in
one only array, and because of what also they separated them and they
made them diverse arrays, being themselves Uncontainable (ones) and
Boundless (ones), and because of what they proceeded out of the
Fatherless (ones). And that Mystery [206^a] indeed is that which knoweth
because of what despoiled themselves the Boundless (ones) and because of
what they set them up being twelve Boundless Spaces, and they placed
them being three arrays of Spaces according to the arrangement of the
Only One, the Ineffable, and because of what they proceeded out of the
Fatherless (ones). And that Mystery indeed is that which knoweth because
of what despoiled themselves the twelve Uncontainable (ones) these which
belong to (the) arrays of the Only One, the Ineffable One, and because

what they proceeded out of the second Triple spirit. And that Mystery
