As to the possible artificiality and semi-cryptographic quality of at least
some Old Irish texts; and the more certain hermeticism of some Hiberno-Latin
texts, I did find online a copy of "Adelphus adelpha mater," author unknown,
which can be read (or at least looked at) at the following URL:

Much of the jargon in the poem is recognisably Greek.  But there are enough
obscurities in it to keep several Champollions awake for several nights.
