56 Horus they are wont to call also Min, which means seen; for the world is something perceptible and visible, and Isis is sometimes called Muth, and again Athyri or Methyer. By the first of these names they signify mother, by the second the mundane house of Horus, the place and receptacle of generation, as PlatoPlato, Timaeus, 52 d-53 a. Cf. also Moralia, 882 c and 1023 a. has it, and the third is compounded of full and cause; for the material of the world is full, and is associated with the good and pure and orderly.
