Abstract
This two-part article presents new evidence and proposals for the original names of the wicked angels listed in 1 En. 69:4–15 and an interpretation of the passage in light of the new proposals. Nine names (plus one additional term) are involved. Contrary to the assertions of most scholars, the names have been remarkably well preserved in the Ethiopic text, and the purpose of the whole is best explained in light of the anti-Babylonian polemic proposed by Henryk Drawnel as the driving force behind the similar angel listings in 1 En. 7–8.
