| ENT_VAL_AGAPE | Agape | Valentinian | Aeon / personified Love | Aeon | love; divine charity; Dodecad; Metricos pair; cosmic love principle; Pleroma binding force | A | Agape ("Love") is one of the twelve Dodecad aeons in the Valentinian Pleroma, paired with Metricos ("Measurer"). Like Pistis, Agape personifies a theological virtue as a cosmic divine reality. In Valentinian theology, the agape that binds the Pleroma is the divine love through which all aeons are oriented toward the Father — it is the binding force of the divine fullness. The prominence of Agape in the Dodecad reflects Valentinianism's deep engagement with the Johannine tradition (1 John 4:8: "God is Agape") and Paul's hymn to love in 1 Corinthians 13. For Valentinian theologians, Paul's statement that "love never fails" (1 Cor 13:8) while knowledge and prophecy pass away supports the aeon Agape's permanent role in the Pleroma even after the Fall of Sophia and its aftermath.

| ENT_VAL_MONOGENES | Monogenes | Valentinian | Aeon / Only-begotten | Aeon | divine sonship; unique knowledge of the Father; only-begotten principle; Nous variant; Decad | A | Monogenes ("Only-begotten") is one of the ten Decad aeons in the Valentinian Pleroma, paired with Macaria ("Blessedness"), and produced by the syzygy of Logos and Zoe (Irenaeus AH I.2.5). He occupies a special position in some Valentinian traditions because the title "Monogenes" is also applied to Nous (the second aeon, paired with Aletheia), who alone has knowledge of the Father (Bythos): "Nous alone, which is also called Only-begotten and Father and Beginning of all things, was able to know the size of the Father" (Irenaeus AH I.2.1). This creates a theological ambiguity in Valentinianism: there is a Decad-level Monogenes (paired with Macaria in the Decad sequence) and a title Monogenes applied to the second Ogdoad aeon Nous. The term "Monogenes" is also the Greek theological term used for Christ's divine Sonship in the Gospel of John (1:14, 18; 3:16), making this concept a bridge point between Valentinian aeon theology and orthodox Christology.

| ENT_VAL_PISTIS | Pistis | Valentinian | Aeon / personified Faith | Aeon | faith; divine trust; Dodecad; Paracletos pair; Pistis Sophia tradition; salvific trust | A | Pistis ("Faith") is one of the twelve Dodecad aeons in the Valentinian Pleroma, paired with Paracletos ("Comforter" — the Valentinian appropriation of the Johannine Paraclete concept). Produced by the syzygy of Anthropos and Ecclesia, Pistis personifies the theological virtue of faith as a cosmic, divine quality rather than a human disposition — in Valentinian theology, Pistis is the archetypal pattern of which human faith is a shadow. The figure of Pistis acquires much greater theological development in the text known as Pistis Sophia (possibly 3rd–4th c. CE), a Coptic Gnostic dialogue in which Sophia/Pistis is a fallen aeon who descends through thirteen emanations seeking rescue from the material realm — an extended narrative elaboration of the Valentinian cosmological drama. In the Pistis Sophia text, the figure named "Pistis Sophia" conflates the Dodecad aeon Pistis with the fallen Sophia, creating a hybrid narrative figure distinct from the Valentinian Decad/Dodecad structure.

| ENT_VAL_THELETOS | Theletos | Valentinian | Aeon / Divine Will | Aeon | divine will; Dodecad; Sophia pair; cosmological crisis; fall of Sophia; Pleroma limit | A | Theletos ("Will" or "Desired One") is the second-to-last of the thirty Valentinian aeons, paired with Sophia as the final male-female syzygy of the Dodecad (Irenaeus AH I.1.1-3; I.2.5). He is theologically pivotal: Sophia's fall occurs specifically because she desires to comprehend the Father without her consort Theletos — her passion/desire (enthymesis) erupts as a desire to "know" the Father directly, bypassing the proper mediation of her syzygy partner. Without Theletos, Sophia's unbounded desire cannot be contained, and it overflows the Pleroma boundary, generating the crisis that eventually produces Achamoth (Lower Sophia) and the material world. Theletos thus represents the principle of divine Will as the proper partner of Wisdom — the absence of Theletos from Sophia's creative act is precisely what makes her creation defective and material rather than spiritual. In later Valentinian theology (as preserved in the Gospel of Philip, NHC II,3), the relationship of Theletos and Sophia informs the discussion of proper spiritual pairing (the "bridal chamber" motif).
