Record: listeners' notes. Written from listeners' notes, summaries, or memory rather than a shorthand transcript. The wording is the note-taker's as much as Steiner's: weigh a single striking phrase here far more cautiously than the same phrase in a stenographic volume, and do not rest an argument on one word. Evidence: «Nach zum Teil bruchstückhaften Mitschriften» (From transcripts that are in part fragmentary). The publisher's description of the volume, as mirrored on AnthroWiki (GA 246), which also speaks of "fragmentarischen Hörernotizen und Vortragszusammenfassungen". The translation is the maintainer's, not a published one.

And now I would like to draw your attention to the following: I would like to draw your attention to the ancient Egyptian culture, which took place several millennia ago in the land of the Nile, in such a way that superhuman teachers revealed themselves to the Egyptians, of whom the Egyptians themselves said that they guided the people like gods; in addition, however, such beings also worked who had only half or partially reached their angelic level.
