This article will examine a set of distinctive conceptual and terminological combinations in the Ethiopic Parables of Enoch and the Slavonic 2 Enoch, associated with the meteorological elements and their angelic custodians/managers. These texts contain extended accounts of the storehouses (or treasuries) within which the elements are stored, and they exhibit a particular interest in how their angelic custodians distribute the elements to the earth; the imagery of distribution is, in turn, connected to metrological concepts informed by the imagery of a righteous balance (or scales). We will consider how other texts offer limited parallels to these combinations, a comparison that will help to illustrate the particularly close connection between the Parables of Enoch and 2 Enoch. The closest parallels are found in 3 Enoch, though here we will also see some striking developments that suggest the Ethiopic and Slavonic works preserve traditions from an earlier point of evolution. Some suggestive parallels will also be noted in works of Syrian origin, which might cast new light on the provenance or transmissional pathways of the Parables of Enoch and 2 Enoch.

本文将研究以诺的埃塞俄比亚寓言和斯拉夫2号以诺的寓言中的一组独特的概念和术语组合，这些组合与气象要素及其天使保管者/管理者有关。这些文本包含了存储元素的仓库（或库房）的扩展说明，并且它们对天使保管者如何将元素分布到地球表现出特别的兴趣。分配的影像又与由正义平衡（或天平）的影像告知的计量概念相关。我们将考虑其他文本如何为这些组合提供有限的相似之处，这一比较将有助于说明以诺的寓言和2以诺之间的特别紧密的联系。在3 Enoch中找到最接近的相似点，尽管在这里我们还将看到一些惊人的发展，表明埃塞俄比亚和斯拉夫的作品保留了早期进化论的传统。在叙利亚血统的作品中也将注意到一些暗示性的相似之处，这可能为《以诺之书》和《以诺2》的寓言的起源或传播途径提供新的启示。
