Queen of the superb gods, Hermouthis, lady,
Isis, pure, the most sacred, powerful, of a powerful name, goddess.
Very worshipped giver of good things. To all the right men.
You give great blessings: to possess riches,
A pleased life and very serene happiness;
Material gain, good luck and happy skill to comprehend
All those who live lives of high blessedness, the best among men:
Kings with sceptres and those who are sovereigns
If they depend on you, may they govern until advanced age
Leaving bright and beautiful riches in abundance
To their children and to the children of their
Children, and to men that come after.
But he who the heavenly queen has made the highest of princes;
Sovereign in Asia and Europe,
Keeping the pare: for him the harvests grow heavywith all kinds of good things, giving fruit...
And when there are wars and massacres of innumerable multitude,
Your strenght and the divine power
Destroys the multitudes opposed to him;
But the few ones that are with him are encouraged.
Listen to me, Agathetyche,
When i pray, lady,
If you have travelled to Lybia or to the wind of the south.
Or if you live in the extreme regions of the wind of the north that always blows gently.
Or if you live in the gusts of the wind of the east from where the sun rises,
Or if you’ve gone to the Olimpo where the olimpic gods live.
Or if you’re in the sky above, judge among the immortal gods.
Or if you’re on the cart of the sun that runs quickly,
You govern the world of men,
Watching from above those of the right one
If you are present here too, you, testimony of individual virtue,
Delighted in the sacrifices, in the libation and in the offers
Of the men who live in Suchos’s name, the arsinati, Men of various races who, every year, are present
The twentieth day of the month of Pachon and that, bringing a tithe for you
And for Anchoes and for Sokonopis, very sacred gods, at your banquet.
Oh carrier of prayers. Isis dressed in black, the merciful one
And you great gods who share the temple with her, send me Paean, oh healer of every evil.
