| 1 | And those who are particularly active in the limbs (are): |
| 2 | the head Diolimodraza, |
| 3 | the neck Yammeax, |
| 4 | the right shoulder Yakouib, |
| 5 | the left shoulder Verton, |
| 6 | the right hand Oudidi, |
| 7 | the left one Arbao, |
| 8 | the fingers of the right hand Lampno, |
| 9 | the fingers of the left hand Leekaphar, |
| 10 | the right breast Barbar, |
| 11 | the left breast Imae, |
| 12 | the chest Pisandriaptes, |
| 13 | the right shoulder joint Koade, |
| 14 | the left shoulder joint Odeor, |
| 15 | the right ribs Asphixix, |
| 16 | the left ribs Synogchouta, |
| 17 | the belly Arouph, |
| 18 | the womb Sabalo, |
| 19 | the right thigh Charcharb, |
| 20 | the left thigh Chthaon, |
| 21 | all the genitals Bathinoth, |
| 22 | the right leg Choux, |
| 23 | the left leg Charcha, |
| 24 | the right shin-bone Aroer, |
| 25 | the left shin-bone Toechtha, |
| 26 | the right knee Aol, |
| 27 | the left knee Charaner, |
| 28 | the right foot Bastan, |
| 29 | its toes Archentechtha, |
| 30 | the left foot Marephnounth, |
| 31 | its toes Abrana. |
| 32 | Seven have power over all of these: Michael, Ouriel, Asmenedas, Saphasatoel, Aarmouriam, Richram, Amiorps. |
| 33 | And the ones who are in charge over the senses (are) Archendekta; |
| 34 | and he who is in charge over the receptions (is) Deitharbathas; |
| 35 | and he who is in charge over the imagination (is) Oummaa; |
| 36 | and he who is over the composition Aachiaram, |
| 37 | and he who is over the whole impulse Riaramnacho. |
| 38 | And the origin of the demons which are in the whole body is determined to be four: heat, cold, wetness, and dryness. |
| 39 | And the mother of all of them is matter. |
| 40 | And he who reigns over the heat (is) Phloxopha; |
| 41 | and he who reigns over the cold is Oroorrothos; |
| 42 | and he who reigns over what is dry (is) Erimacho; |
| 43 | and he who reigns over the wetness (is) Athuro. |
| 44 | And the mother of all of these, Onorthochrasaei, stands in their midst, since she is illimitable, and she mixes with all of them. |
| 45 | And she is truly matter, for they are nourished by her. |
| 46 | The four chief demons are: Ephememphi, who belongs to pleasure, Yoko, who belongs to desire, Nenentophni, who belongs to grief, Blaomen, who belongs to fear. |
| 47 | And the mother of them all is Aesthesis-Ouch-Epi-Ptoe. |
| 48 | And from the four demons passions came forth. And from grief (came) envy, jealousy, distress, trouble, pain, callousness, anxiety, mourning, etc. |
| 49 | And from pleasure much wickedness arises, and empty pride, and similar things. |
| 50 | And from desire (comes) anger, wrath, and bitterness, and bitter passion, and unsatedness, and similar things. |
| 51 | And from fear (comes) dread, fawning, agony, and shame. |
| 52 | All of these are like useful things as well as evil things. |
| 53 | But the insight into their true (character) is Anaro, who is the head of the material soul, for it belongs with the seven senses, Ouch-Epi-Ptoe. |
| 54 | This is the number of the angels: together they are 365. |
| 55 | They all worked on it until, limb for limb, the natural and the material body was completed by them. |
| 56 | Now there are other ones in charge over the remaining passions whom I did not mention to you. |
| 57 | But if you wish to know them, it is written in the book of Zoroaster. |
