From the 4th. That Osiris is Misraim. 



„ 5th. That Misraim was present at one time in India, 

 and his memory has been dearly cherished by the 

 Brahmins. 

 „ 6th & 7th. That Osiris is Misraim. 



„ 8th. That the name of Misraim was held in high

 „ 19th. Countenances the thesis that Osiris and Misraim 

 are the same. 



„ 20th. That Bramah, Osiris and Misraim are the same. 



The Egyptian account of the invasion of India by Osiris states
