Chapter whereby one knoweth the Power of Hermopolis.

God, the Originator, dawneth forth in righteousness, and Righteousness is conveyed upon the arm of him who reckoneth it out.

I know it, and I am therefore led in through the priest.

I tell it not to men, I repeat it not to the angels.

I enter as one who knoweth not, and seeth not.

Hail, ye angels who are in Hermopolis. Know ye me as I know my Lord, that the sight may be made firm and permanent. I take delight in reckoning out that which is reckoned.

I know the Powers of Hermopolis, which are great at the beginning of the month and diminished at the fifteenth day; the moon is a sign of God.

They are God the Unseen, God the Guardian, and God the Perfecter.

If this chapter be known, filth is avoided.
