To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The words spoken to the Ba anJch are quite similar to the fornmlaB addressed to men. The sacred ram is supposed to sym- bolise the productive and generative power of nature, and he unites in his own person four different rams, who are sometimes represented in an abridged form as one single body with four heads. On the Ptolemaic tablet he is called : the King of Upper and Lower Egypt, the living spirit of Ba, the living spirit of Shu, the living spirit of Seb, the living spirit of Osiris, the sp...irit of spirits, the lord of lords, the heir in the city of Tonen (Mendes). In another part of the same text it is said of him : appearing on the horizon with four heads, illuminating heaven and earth, coming 05 Nile, causing the earth to live, and (giving) the air to mankind. From these two texts it is clear that he is supposed to unite in himself the four elements, light or fire, water, earth, and air ; these are the four heads with which he is often represented, or the four different rams of the composite deity, which are sometimes attributed to four different cities of Egypt.
