Ἑρμῆς [page 254] P Oxy VI. 886 (iii/A.D.) (= Selections , p. 110 f.) contains a magical formula, purporting to be derived from a sacred book ἐν τοῖς τοῦ Ἑρμοῦ ταμίοις , while the method employed is concerned with the 29 letters, which were used by Hermes and by Isis, when she was seeking her brother and husband Osiris δι᾽ ὧν ὁ Ἑρμῆς κὲ ἡ Ἶσις ζητοῦσα ἑαυτῆς τὸν ἀδελφὸν κὲ ἄνδρα Ὄσιρειν . In the curious astrological dialogue, P Rvl II. 63 .5 (iii/A.D.), in which various parts of the body are connected with the sun, moon, planets, etc., the tongue, smell, and hearing belong to Hermes Ἑρ ]μ̣ο̣υ̣̑ γλῶσσα ὄσφρησις ἀκοή . For Ἑρμῆς as the name of a man, as in Rom_16:14 , see OGIS 597 .4 Διὶ Ἡλιοπολίτῃ παρὰ Ἑρμοῦ with the editor s note; also Syll 753 .2 (not older than A.D. 212) and the other exx. in Rouffiac Recherches , p. 91.
