[Meaning] the god [sc. of that name] and fire.[1]
When Hermes was ruling in Egypt[2] and died, Hephaistos inherited the kingdom, for 1680 days: which was 4 years, 7 months, 8 days. For then the Egyptians did not know how to count time in years, but applied the term "year" to a period of a day. He was mystic and warlike: therefore they even called him a god. He was at war and struck his foot and became lame. He established for the Egyptians the custom [or: law] of good sense [or: self control]: for their women did not know how to be monogamous.[3] By a mystic prayer he received the tongs from the air, by which he made weapons for war and agricultural instruments from iron: for before his time they made war with cudgels and stones.
