Babylonian theogony according to Damascius (1)

Text
Damascius (quoting Eudemos of Rhodes):
Among the Barbarians, the Babylonians seem to be silent on the unique principle of the all and pose two principles, Tauthe and Apasōn, considering Apasōn as the husband of Tauthe, whom they call mother of the gods. From Apasōn and Tauthe has been engendered, they say, an only child, Mōümis, who is, I think, the intelligible world, produced from the two principles. Then, from the same, another generation proceeded, Dachē and Dachos. Then, from the same, a third one again, Kissarē and Assoros, from whom were born three gods, Anos, Illinos and Aos. Finally, from Aos and Daukē, a son was born, Bēlos, who, they say, is the demiurge.
