1 And I summoned the very lowest a second time, and said: Let Archas come out hard, and he came out hard from the invisible (spiritual).
2 And Archas came out, hard, heavy, and very red.
3 And I said: Be opened, Archas, and let there be born from you, and he came undone, an age came out, very great and very dark, bearing the creation of all lower things, and I saw that (it was) good and said to him:
4 Go there down below, and make yourself firm, and be a foundation for the lower things, and it happened and he went down and fixed himself, and became the foundation for the lower things, and below the darkness there is nothing else.
