[The Robe of Power] established the Propatôr in all the æons of the
Mother of [the Manifestation] of all things, and gave him the full
power of Paternity, and Powers to obey him as Father and as First
Father of all that exists. It placed upon his head a crown of twelve
kinds; it gave him a Power which is Triple-powered and All-powered; it
gave him Sonship and myriads and myriads of Glories. It turned the
Plêrôma towards him and gave him power to make live and to destroy. It
gave him a power of the æon so that he might manifest it, with the
myriads and myriads of out-rayed Glories, like the other æons that were
with him. The Power which has been given to the Propatôr is called
Prôtophanes, because he is the first to be manifested, and Agennêtos,
because no one has engendered him. Also Ineffable and "Without Name"
is he called, and also Autogênes and Autotheletos, because he has
manifested himself by his own will. Yet again is he named
Autoloxastos, for he manifested himself with the Glories that were his.
Yet again is he termed Invisible, for he is hidden and none can see him.
Now [the Robe of Power] gave unto the Propatôr another Power, that
which since the beginning has caused the Light-Spark to appear in this
Space, and who is named with names Holy and All-perfecting. Who is
Prôtia, that is to say, the First, and is also called Pantia--she who
is found in all--and Pangenia--she who has brought forth all in the
world--and Loxogenia--she who has brought Glory to birth--and
Loxophania--Manifester of Glory--and Loxokrateia--she who has dominion
over Glory--and Arsenogenia--she who brings forth males--and Lôia--of
which the interpretation is God with us--and Jouêl--of which the
interpretation is God for ever--she it is who has ordained that these
Powers should appear whose name is called Phaneia, of which the
translation is Manifestation. The angel who has appeared with them is
he whom the Glories name Loxogenes and Loxophanes, of which the
interpretation is "He who engenders Glory" and "He who manifests
Glory," for he is one of those Glories who stand about that mighty
power called Loxokrator, because in his manifestation he has had
dominion over the great Glories.
