Chapter whereby one knoweth the powers of Hermopolis.

Truth is borne over the arm, and heaven dawneth at Ment'ait, and the eye is illumined by the one who adjusteth its level.

I am led in by her, and I know what she bringeth from Kasu. I tell it not to men; I repeat it not to angels.

I am come as a messenger of the Light-giver, to make fast truth upon the arm, for the dawning of heaven at Ment'ait, and for restoring the eye to him who taketh the reckoning thereof.

I am come as omnipotent through the knowledge of the powers of Hermopolis, who love the powers which you love.

I am one acquainted with truth made firm and permanent and reckoned out, and I take delight in reckoning out that which is reckoned.

Hail ye powers of Hermopolis, small at the beginning of the month and great upon the fifteenth day; the Light-giver teacheth the mysteries of night, and be it known to you that he who teacheth me is the Wise.

Hail ye powers of Hermopolis as I know you.
