Note 17 — INTRODUCTION
G. (George) Horner translation
The word topos used here and elsewhere in the text seems to be a Greek translation of the Egyptian Ker-t, which as M. Naville, Litanie du Soleil, pp. 15, 16, points out, is the place which serves as a residence for a spirit or a body such as the Sun. He thinks with Champollion that it was also what the Alexandrians sometimes described as a zone or sphere.
