Plutarch, De Iside et Osiride, trans. Babbitt (Loeb). Public domain, archived as plutarch-de-iside-et-osiride-babbitt-loeb.txt. Corrected 2026-07-30: this line previously called the text unavailable and cited it through Budge, while the archive held it. Plutarch is a Greek priest of Delphi writing c. AD 100 for a Greek readership — first-rate on what the Alexandrian cult said about itself, and a foreigner reporting Egyptian religion at second hand. His etymologies are Greek guesswork and are recorded as such.
