Against Heresies
2.
These Aeons having been produced for the glory of the Father, and wishing, by their own efforts, to effect this object, sent forth emanations by means of conjunction. Logos and Zoe, after producing Anthropos and Ecclesia, sent forth other ten Aeons, whose names are the following: Bythius and Mixis, Ageratos and Henosis, Autophyes and Hedone, Acinetos and Syncrasis, Monogenes and Macaria. 1 These are the ten Aeons whom they declare to have been produced by Logos and Zoe. They then add that Anthropos himself, along with Ecclesia, produced twelve Aeons, to whom they give the following names: Paracletus and Pistis, Patricos and Elpis, Metricos and Agape, Ainos and Synesis, Ecclesiasticus and Macariotes, Theletos and Sophia.

Gegen die Häresien (BKV)
2.
Diese Äonen, zur Verherrlichung des Vaters hervorgebracht, wollten nun auch ihrerseits aus dem Ihrigen den Vater verherrlichen. So entsprossen der Verbindung des Logos und der Zoe, nachdem sie den Menschen und die Kirche erzeugt hatten, zehn weitere Äonen, die da heißen: Bythios und Mixis, Ageratos und Henosis, Autophyes und Hedone, Akinetos und Synkrasis, Monogenes und Makaria. Diese zehn Äonen also stammen von dem Logos und der Zoe. — Der Mensch mit der Kirche hat gleichfalls Äonen hervorgebracht und zwar zwölf, denen sie folgende Namen verleihen: Parakletos und Pistis, Patrikos und Elpis, Metrikos und Agape, Aeinous und Synesis, Ekklesiastikos und Makariotes, Theletos und Sophia.
