Adonaios, in Gnostic tradition, often represents another face of divine attributes, potentially associated with governance and order, echoing the structured and ordered way in which these sages disseminate their knowledge and laws.
Adonaios (Sun) echoes Adonai, “Lord,” and the Adonis / Tammuz neighborhood.
Planetary Archon names such as Iao, Sabaoth, Adonaios, and Elaios echo Hebrew divine titles.
The fifth is Adonaios, who is called 'Sabaoth'.
In the Mandaean system Adonaios represents the Sun.
