Translation: This man became king of all Egypt and as far as the Ocean, and he called one of the islands in it Thoule from his own name.[1] Elated by his successes he arrived at the oracle of Sarapis, and making a sacrifice he asked this: "Tell me, you who have the strength of fire, without deceit, blessed one, who align yourself with the ethereal course, who before my reign had so much power, or who will have after me?" And a response was given to him that went like this: "First [is] God, then the Word and Spirit with them. All have a shared nature and come together in one; whose might is eternal. Go with swift feet, O mortal, traversing an uncertain life." And when he came out from the oracular shrine, he was slain by his own men in the land of the Africans.

[1] See generally OCD(4) s.v. Thule -- variously identified with Iceland, Norway, or one of the Shetland Islands. In any event, proverbial in Virgil and elsewhere (
ultima Thule) for the remotest place on earth. For the Orkneys, see
omicron 665.
