1438	Mithra ENT_ZOR_MITHRA	received_as	Mithras ENT_SYN_MITHRAS	medium	The Roman mystery cult deity Mithras is the reception of the Iranian/Zoroastrian Mithra (Avestan: Miθra, "covenant/contract"). Both are solar-associated figures of light, truth, and the cosmic struggle against darkness. The Roman cult (1st–4th c. CE) shares iconographic elements (Mithra/Mithras slaying a bull; solar associations; military popularity) and the name is directly cognate. Scholarly debate persists on the degree of continuity: Cumont argued direct inheritance from Iranian religion; Ulansey (1989) and Merkelbach (1984) argued for substantial Roman innovation. Medium confidence: the name and some attributes are continuous; the degree of doctrinal transmission is disputed.

1439	Mithras ENT_SYN_MITHRAS	reception_of	Mithra ENT_ZOR_MITHRA	medium	Mithras as Roman reception of Zoroastrian/Iranian Mithra; name cognate; solar and covenantal attributes shared; degree of doctrinal continuity debated (Cumont vs. Ulansey).

1440	Enoch ENT_ENOCH	received_as	Metatron ENT_JM_METATRON	high	3 Enoch (Sefer Hekhalot) chapters 3–15 narrate the transformation of Enoch the antediluvian patriarch into the angel Metatron, who is enthroned in heaven, given a robe of glory and a crown, and named "the Youth" (Na'ar), "Prince of the Divine Presence," and "Lesser YHWH." Rabbi Ishmael asks: "Who are you?" and Metatron replies: "I am Enoch son of Jared." The transformation is complete — the human patriarch has been received into Jewish mysticism as the highest of all angelic beings. This is the central transmission of the Second Temple Enoch tradition into Hekhalot and Kabbalistic mysticism.	3 Enoch / Sefer Hekhalot SRC_3_ENOCH	reviewed	Late Antiquity PER_LATE_ANTIQUE
1441	Metatron ENT_JM_METATRON	reception_of	Enoch ENT_ENOCH	high	Metatron as the Jewish mystical reception of the Enoch patriarch; 3 Enoch explicitly identifies Metatron as the transformed Enoch; the human visionary becomes the supreme angelic mediator.	3 Enoch / Sefer Hekhalot SRC_3_ENOCH	reviewed	Late Antiquity PER_LATE_ANTIQUE
1450	Azazel ENT_ISR_AZAZEL	received_as	Samael ENT_GNO_SAMAEL	medium	Samael in Jewish tradition draws substantially from the Azazel archetype: an angelic being who was expelled or degraded from the divine realm and associated with the wilderness/demonic sphere. The Zohar identifies Samael with the serpent of Eden; pseudepigraphical literature (2 Enoch, the Apocalypse of Abraham) conflates Azazel and Samael as names for the same adversarial angel. DDD_BIBLE s.v. "Samael" documents the convergence. The expelled-angel dimension of Samael comes primarily from the Azazel tradition.

1451	Samael ENT_GNO_SAMAEL	reception_of	Azazel ENT_ISR_AZAZEL	medium	Samael's expelled-angel dimension draws from the Azazel tradition; Jewish pseudepigrapha and Zohar conflate Azazel and Samael as the same adversarial angelic being.

1452	Satan ENT_ISR_SATAN	received_as	Samael ENT_GNO_SAMAEL	medium	Samael in Kabbalistic theology (Zohar) is the chief of the "other side" (sitra achra), the adversarial force opposing the divine — the direct reception of the Satan tradition. The Zohar explicitly identifies Samael as the great serpent/Satan figure: "Samael is the great dragon of the sea" (Zohar III.282a). The name Samael (Hebrew: "venom of God" or "blind God" in Gnostic contexts) appears in Jewish literature from the 2nd century BCE onward as an adversarial angel drawing on the Satan archetype. In the Apocalypse of Moses and the Life of Adam and Eve, Samael is identified as the devil who tempted Eve.	Zohar SRC_ZOHAR	reviewed	Late Antiquity PER_LATE_ANTIQUE
1453	Samael ENT_GNO_SAMAEL	reception_of	Satan ENT_ISR_SATAN	medium	Samael as reception of the Satan/accuser tradition in Jewish-Gnostic theology; Zohar identifies Samael as the serpent/adversary and chief of the sitra achra.	Zohar SRC_ZOHAR	reviewed	Late Antiquity PER_LATE_ANTIQUE
