			In Zohaistic Qabalah, '''Agrat bat Mahlat''' (אגרת בת מחלת) is a demon, more accurately one of the Succubi. She is a queen of the demons and one of four angels of sacred prostitution, who mates with the archangel [[Samael]]. Her [[Succubus (Traditional)\|succubi]] sisters are [[Lilith]], [[Naamah]], and [[Eisheth Zenunium]]. In the Rabbinic literature of Yalḳuṭ Ḥadash, on the eves of Wednesday and of the Sabbath, she is "the dancing roof-demon" who haunts the air with her chariot and her train of eighteen myriads of messengers of destruction. She dances while Lilith howls.<ref>[http://www.jewishencyclopedia.com/articles/13523-shedim Jewish Encyclopedia shedim]</ref> She is also "the mistress of the sorceresses" who communicated magic secrets to Amemar, a Jewish sage.<ref>[http://www.jewishencyclopedia.com/articles/5085-demonology Jewish Encyclopedia demonology]</ref>

			According to the Kabbalah and the school of Rashba, Agrat bat Mahlat mated with King David and bore a [[cambion]] son [[Asmodeus]], king of demons.<ref>[http://www.lilithgallery.com/library/lilith/Queen-of-the-Demons.html Kabbala: Lilith, Queen of the Demons]</ref> The spiritual intervention of Hanina ben Dosa and Rabbi Abaye curbed her malevolent powers over humans.<ref>Geoffrey W.

			==Etymology==
			Considering Mahlat and Agrat as proper names and bat as "daughter of" (Hebrew), Agrat bat Mahlat means 'Agrat daughter of Mahlat'. Sometimes Agrat is used alone, or with variations (Agrath, Igrat, Iggeret). Iggeret means in Hebrew 'letter or missive' while 'agrah' means 'reward'. Mahlat may be from the word "mahalah" meaning sickness.

	In Zohaistic Qabalah, '''Agrat Bat Mahlat''' is one of the four angels of prostitution, who mates with [[Samael]]. Her fellow succubi are [[Lilith]], [[Naamah]], and [[Eisheth Zenunium]]. Considering Mahlat and Agrat as proper names and bat as "daughter of" (Hebrew), Agrat bat Mahlat means 'Agrat daughter of Mahlat'. Sometimes Agrat is used alone, or with variations (Agrath, Igrat, Iggeret). Iggeret means in Hebrew 'letter or missive' while 'agrah' means 'reward'. Mahathallah, probably the correct spelling of Mahlat means in Hebrew 'deception' or 'illusion'. Therefore, Agrat bat Mahlat could be translated as Agrat 'daughter of illusions', 'bringer of deception' or 'reward for deception'

	These four angels are also known as the Queens of Hell or the spouses of Satan, and some authors as Donald Tyson refer to them as manifestations of Lilith. '''Agrat Bat Mahlat''' rules Salamanca (western quarter), Naamah rules Damascus (eastern quarter), while Lilith rules Rome (northern quarter). The southern quarter is controversial, since it is assigned to a country (Egypt) instead of to a city, and the name of the ruler is unclear, usually identified as Mahalat (the mother of Agrat?) or Rahab instead of Eisheth.
