§2 Transcreveu o que se segue de uma estela em Mênfis que se erguia junto do templo de Hefesto.
§3a Eu sou Ísis, a rainha de toda a terra,
§3b e fui ensinada por Hermes e
§3c com Hermes inventei as letras, tanto as sagradas como as comuns, para que as coisas que existem não sejam escritas com as mesmas [letras].
§4 Eu estabeleci as leis para os seres humanos e ordenei-as para que ninguém as possa mudar.
§5 Eu sou a filha primogénita de Cronos
§6 Eu sou consorte e irmã do rei Osíris.
§7 Eu sou a que encontra o fruto da terra para os seres humanos.
§8 Eu sou a mãe do rei Hórus.
