The Jewish pseudepigraphon Second Book of Enoch (Slavonic Enoch) refers to the Grigori, who are the same as the Watchers of 1 Enoch. [17] The Slavic word Grigori used in the book is a transcription [18] of the Greek word ἐγρήγοροι egrḗgoroi, meaning "wakeful". [19] The Hebrew equivalent is ערים, meaning "waking", "awake". [20]
