H., xvi. or xvii., and is, therefore, probably from the Sermon of Asclepius to the King.\n87:1 R. (p. 134, n. 3) says simply that the last word (\u201cHorus\u201d) is missing in the Vindobonensis, and finds no difficulty in recognizing a type of literature in which King (Ammon) is a pupil of Isis.","title":"Thrice-Greatest Hermes, Vol. 3: I.
