Kiwan
In Mandaeism, Kiwan, Kiuan (Classical Mandaic: ࡊࡉࡅࡀࡍ; Persian: کیوان), or Kewan is the Mandaic name for the planet Saturn. Kiwan is one of the seven planets (Classical Mandaic: ࡔࡅࡁࡀ, romanized: šuba, lit. 'The Seven'), who are part of the entourage of Ruha in the World of Darkness.
Kiwan, who is associated with Saturday as well as Judaism, is also called Br Šamiš (The Son of the Sun). Kiwan's name is derived from the Akkadian Kajamānu.
Near the end of Book 3 and at the beginning of Book 9.1 in the Right Ginza, Kiwan is identified with the Kentaeans, a related Gnostic sect.
