In Mandaeism, Ptahil (Classical Mandaic: ࡐࡕࡀࡄࡉࡋ) also known as Ptahil-Uthra (uthra, "angel, guardian"),[1]: 8 is the Fourth Life, the third of three emanations from the First Life, Hayyi Rabbi, after Yushamin and Abatur. Ptahil-Uthra alone does not constitute the demiurge but only fills that role since he is viewed as the creator of the material world in the Ginza Rabba, often holding an inherently malicious character.[1][2]: 65 [3][4][5]
