Apocrypha · Chapter 23 of 105
Ethiopic
I went from there to another place towards the west, unto the ends of the earth,
2Where I saw a fire, flaming and running on without ceasing, which intermitted not its course either by day or by night, but continued always the same.
3Then I enquired and said, What is this which never ceases?
4Then answered Eaguel, one of the holy angels who was with me,
5And said, This flaming fire which thou seest running towards the west, is that of all the lights of heaven.
