Abraxas
"The holy book of the Great Invisible Spirit,
the Parent, the Father whose name cannot be named,
who came from the Heights of Fullness,
light of light of the realms of Light,
light of the silence of Forethought
and the Father of silence,
light of word and truth,
light of the incorruptions,
infinite light,
radiance from the realms of light
of the unrevealed, undisclosed,
unaging, unannounced Father,
aeon of aeons,
self-generated, self-generating,
self-producing, foreign,
truly true eternal realm."
- From the Gnostic text, "The Holy Book of the Great Invisible Spirit".
Discovered at Nag Hammadi, Egypt in 1945, dating from the second half of the 4th century when the Gnostic sect was under severe persecution from the religious and secular authorities.
