In Mandaeism, ʿZlat ( Classical Mandaic: ࡏࡆࡋࡀࡕ, lit. 'she wove/she span'), also Ezlat, Īzlat, or ʿZlat Rabtia ('ʿZlat the Great'), is the wife or female consort of Shishlam, a figure representing the prototypical priest or prototypical Mandaean. Hence, Zlat symbolizes the prototypical Mandaean priestly wife as the archetype of the pure bride. [1] She is described in the Mandaean priestly text The Thousand and Twelve Questions as the "Wellspring of Light." [2]
Zlat is also mentioned in Qolasta prayers 17, 105, 106, 171, and 173 (the Šumhata). [3]
