‘In common with mystery religions, there were secret teachings, and not all texts were intended to be read by uninitiated people. The text appears to have been written for a higher level of initiate who was part of the way through since it states, “Now behold! I will reveal to you my mysteries, since you are my fellow brethren, and you shall know them all”,[2] but tantalizingly, the next five lines are missing and followed by “I told all of them about my mysteries”.[3] Some speculation has considered the possibility that the missing five lines were always missing and had never originally existed, their absence itself being a teaching of the text.’
