| Original: | I am yesterday, today and tomorrow, and I have the power to be born a second time. I am the divine hidden soul who created the Gods and gives sepulchral meals to the denizens of the deep, the place of the dead, and heaven... Hail, lord of the shrine that stands in the centre of the earth. He is I and I am he! |

| Translation: | Ές ζέσιαχτη, σό δῖος, τῶβρεγαχτη,
Άπε γάβου βρίγην γῆνετουον λὰμησσι τάνης.
Ές νοίβον κέλετιον νᾶμαν πίδ γνίτ δεῖϝους
Άπε δῆτι τύμβηκησσι ϝέσσης πους δούβναχτης τωύζον,
Μῆριον, άπε νέμι ζόν...
Μόλητρις, νὲντι τίγρενε τῆντι εν βίτι κρίζι.
Μί έσσι άπε ζεῖς ές! |
