The place or state of the abyss or hell. "Mary answered and said: "Woe unto the souls of sinners! Now, therefore, my Lord, is the fire in the world of mankind fiercer, or the fire in Amente? The Saviour answered and said unto Mary, Amēn, I say unto thee: The fire in Amente is nine times fiercer than the fire in mankind". ("The Pistis Sophia". http://www.gnosis.org/library/psoph.htm )
