How They Denote Hephæstus Phthah

'To denote Hephæstus [Phthah], they delineate a SCARABÆUS and a VULTURE, and to denote Athena [Neith], 2 a VULTURE and a SCARABÆUS; for to them the world appears to consist both of male and female, (for Athena [Neith] however they also depict a vulture) and; according to them, these are the only Gods who are both male and female.
