 Words or concepts for which no adequate Egyptian translation existed were taken directly from Greek to avoid altering the meaning of the religious message.In addition, other Egyptian words that would have adequately translated the Greek equivalents were not employed as they were perceived as having overt pagan associations.Old Coptic texts employ many such words, phrases and epithets; for example, the word '(Who is) in (His) Mountain', is an epithet of Anubis.
