Note 230 — Chapter II · THE ALEXANDRIAN DIVINITIES
Reading edition
Hippolytus puts it quite plainly: “Now Osiris is water.” See Philosophumena, Bk V. c. 7, p. 149, Cruice. Cf. Lafaye, Culte, etc. p. 115. So Origen, c. Cels. Bk V. c. 38, says that the fables of Osiris and Isis lead men to worship cold water and the moon.
