(22) The Egyptians occasionally represented the Phœnix as having the body of a man and the wings of a bird. This biform, creature had a tuft of feathers upon its head and its arms were upraised in an attitude of prayer. As the phœnix was the symbol of regeneration, the tuft of feathers on the back of its head might well symbolize the activity of the Pineal gland, or third eye, the occult function of which was apparently well understood by the ancient priestcraft.

(2) And there are those who fashion ears and eyes of costly material, and consecrate them, dedicating them in the temples to the gods - by this plainly indicating that God sees and hears all things. Besides, the lion is with them the symbol of strength and prowess, as the ox clearly is of the earth itself, and husbandry and food, and the horse of fortitude and confidence; while, on the other hand, the sphinx, of strength combined with intelligence - as it had a body entirely that of a lion, and the face of a man. Similarly to these, to indicate intelligence, and memory, and power, and art, a man is sculptured in the temples. And in what is called among them the Komasiae of the gods, they carry about golden images - two dogs, one hawk, and one ibis; and the four figures of the images they call four letters. For the dogs are symbols of the two hemispheres, which, as it were, go round and keep watch; the hawk, of the sun, for it is fiery and destructive (so they attribute pestilential diseases to the sun); the ibis, of the moon, likening the shady parts to that which is dark in plumage, and the luminous to the light. And some will have it that by the dogs are meant the tropics, which guard and watch the sun's passage to the south and north. The hawk signifies the equinoctial line, which is high and parched with heat, as the ibis the ecliptic. For the ibis seems, above other animals, to have furnished to the Egyptians the first rudiments of the invention of number and measure, as the oblique line did of circles.

(598) 1643 To say: This is this eye of Horus which he gave to Osiris, 1643 thou hast given it (back) to him, that he may equip his face with it; 1643 but this is this (eye) of sweet odour--concerning which Horus spoke in the presence of Geb-- 1643 of incense and flame. 1644 One pellet of incense; 1644 three pellets of incense; 1644 a bow.

(25) 17 He who goes, goes with his ka: Horus goes with his ka; Set goes with his ka; 17 Thot goes with his ka; the god goes with his ka; Osiris goes with his ka; 17 Mnti-'irti goes with his ka; thou also goest with thy ka. 18 O N., the hands of thy ka are before thee; O N., the hands of thy ka are behind thee; 18 O N., the feet of thy ka are before thee; O N., the feet of thy ka are behind thee. 18 Osiris N., I have given to thee the eye of Horus, so that thy face may be equipped with it. 18 Let the odour of the eye of Horus adhere to thee. To be said four times: Fire of incense.
