As to the earthly Ocean,
it is fancied as a broad river,
or watery rim,
flowing all round the edge
of the imaginary inverted bowl;
in its waters dwells ÊA
(whose name means
"the House of Waters"), ÊA ~ the great Spirit
of the Earth & Waters (Zi-ki-a),
either in the form of a fish,
whence he is frequently called
“Êa the fish."
or
"the Exalted Fish,"
or on a magnificent ship,
with which
he travels round the earth,
guarding and protecting it.

Atlas king of Perhamom consented. The #BlackStone which was believed to be incarnation of the Great Mother was shipped to Austia where it was received with impressive ceremony by Scipio Africanus and a band of virtuous matrons.
