Does somebody have the original text for this? It does not conform with my egyptian theogeny. I'd like to see the word translated as Min(is it Amsu?)... and also the term translated as "son".

Min (Menew, Amsu)
...
"... Min, Lord of the Processions,
God of the High Plumes,
Son of Osiris and Isis,
Venerated in Ipu,
Gebtu's Horus of the Strong Arm.
-- Hymn to Min"


[nefertiti.iwebland.com]
"In a hymn Min and Horus appear equated
I worship Min, I extol arm-raising Horus:
Hail to you, Min in his procession!
Tall-plumed, son of Osiris,
Born of divine Isis.
Great in Senut, mighty in Ipu (i.e. Panoplis=Akhmim),
You of Coptus, Horus strong-armed,
Lord of awe who silences pride,
Sovereign of all the gods!
Fragrance laden when he comes from Medja-land,
Awe inspiring in Nubia,
You of Utent, hail and praise!"
-- Hymn to Min of the Deputy-treasurer Sobk-iry, Middle Kingdom
M. Lichtheim, Ancient Egyptian Literature, Vol.1, p.204
(Rock Stela of Mentuhotep IV)
