Allusion1
A deliberate verbal borrowing without a citation formula.
Jannes and Jambres who 'opposed Moses' are the unnamed Egyptian magicians who matched Aaron's signs with their secret arts before Pharaoh. The names derive from Jewish tradition (Targums, CD, the lost book of Jannes and Jambres); the canonical referent is the Exodus contest of the magicians.

A fainter, low-volume reuse, carried by recurrence or thematic coherence.
Simon, the magician overawed by genuine 'signs and great miracles,' loosely typifies Pharaoh's sorcerers whose arts are outmatched by the signs of God. Thematic coherence (true wonders eclipsing magic) is moderate; there is no shared wording, so the link is a faint figural resonance.
