Note 1123 — Chapter XIII · MANES AND THE MANICHAEANS
Reading edition
She cannot possibly be the Virgin of Light, as in the Acta she is said to retire at the Ecpyrosis into the Moon-ship along with that personage. See Hegemonius, op. cit. c. XIII. p. 21, Beeson. The name “Virgin of Light” also appears in the Turfan texts as an epithet of Jesus, if the words are not wrongly translated. See Müller, Handschriften-Reste, pp. 75, 77. The name Nahnaha given her by En Nadîm has been referred to in n. 2, p. 300 supra.
