- Source: Ezlat
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. She is described in the Mandaean priestly text The Thousand and Twelve Questions as the "Wellspring of Light."
Zlat is also mentioned in Qulasta prayers 17, 105, 106, 171, and 173 (the Šumhata).
