[The text is a mix of Coptic and Arabic transliteration/theological reflection]

The following text is a Coptic liturgical or mystical passage, reflecting Kircher's synthesis of language and theology.

...and the times of the eras, and that which is spiritual, from the breath, the nature, the mercy, and the sacrifice which prepares the interpreter; every peace, the angelic creation, they are in their mercy and... he sends... holy... and... the sun, the soul, the breath of wisdom, and... the work, and the wisdom, the collection of the people, the perfection... and they are gathered... the first, the sacrifice of the Egyptian people, and after this, the gathering of the book of the mysteries... the king... the kingdom... the book... in the Almighty, the perfection... the wise... in the Father and the angels and the... in the world... the nature of the mysteries, and the paths and the fruits and the times and the... and the living ones, and those who are... and the mysteries, and they are in the beginning... the reader of the book and the prayer, our God, the power of our hope, and the light of our eyes... and gathering to the spirit... and in man... of the shadows and the paths... the month of glory... in the year of the kings, and upon the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ.

Athanasius Kircher, the practitioner in the shadows of the mission of Jesus.
