FIRST HYMN

1 Magical incantation.

2 Sun, from the foundations of heaven thou art risen;

3 thou hast unfastened the bolts of the shining skies;

4 thou hast opened the door of heaven.

5 Sun, above the countries thou hast raised thy head.

6 Sun, thou hast covered the immensity of the heavens and

the terrestrial countries.

(The fragments of the four following lines are too mutilated to furnish

any connected sense; all the rest of the hymn is entirely wanting.)
