Dossier · Book I
The Watchers
Two hundred heavenly officials descend, swear a mutual oath, and teach humanity things the text treats as off-limits. This is the file on them: who is named, what each is credited with teaching, who is sent to answer it, and exactly where in the text each claim sits.
The roster
The named chiefs
1 Enoch 6 lists the leaders of tens; chapters 7–8 assign the teachings. Names vary between the Aramaic, Greek and Geʽez witnesses, so the common variants are given alongside each entry.
Yeqon
Ch. 69Jeqon
Named in the Parables as the one who led the others astray.
