Chapter 16  
     
1.
 Now up to the present day, sexual intercourse continued due to the chief archon.
 
2.
 And he planted sexual desire in her who belongs to Adam.
 
3.
 And he produced through intercourse the copies of the bodies, and he inspired them with his counterfeit spirit.
 
4.
 And the two archons he set over principalities, so that they might rule over the tomb.
 
5.
 And when Adam recognized the likeness of his own foreknowledge, he begot the likeness of the son of man.
 
6.
 He called him Seth, according to the way of the race in the ages.
 
7.
 Likewise, the mother also sent down her spirit, which is in her likeness and a copy of those who are in the pleroma,
 
8.
 for she will prepare a dwelling place for the ages which will come down.
 
9.
 And he made them drink water of forgetfulness, from the chief archon, in order that they might not know from where they came.
 
10.
 Thus, the seed remained for a while assisting (him), in order that, when the Spirit comes forth from the holy ages, he may raise up and heal him from the deficiency, that the whole pleroma may (again) become holy and faultless.
