"This word, PTR, was partially interpreted, owing to another word similarly written in another group of hieroglyphics, as a stele, the sign used for it being an opened eye. Busen mentions as another explanation of PTR - 'to show'.

"They said to him, 'We have had dreams, and there is no one to interpret them.' And Joseph said to them, 'Do not interpretations belong to God? Please tell them to me.'"

"In a manuscript of the first century, a combination of the Demotic and Greek texts...one of the principal heroes of the manuscript, who is constantly referred to as 'the Judean Illuminator' or Initiate... is made to communicate with his Pater; the latter being written in Chaldaic characters. Once the latter word is coupled with the name Shimean. Several times, the 'Illuminator' who rarely breaks his contemplative solitude, is shown inhabiting a cave, and teaching the multitudes of eager scholars standing outside, not orally, but through this Patar. The latter receives the words of wisdom by applying his ear to a circular hole in a partition which conceals the teacher from the listeners, and then conveys them, with explanations and glossaries, to the crowd. This, with a slight change, was the method used by Pythagoras..."
