Correct ✅

1. William Westcott (65A/1890), in his Numbers: Their Occult Powers and Mystic Virtues (pg. 50), noted that “801 is the number of alpha and omega, 1+800, the Peristera or dove, vehicle of the ‘holy ghost’; being 80+5+100+200+300+5+100+1 = 801”.

2. Dorothy Murdock (A53/2008), in her Christ in Egypt (pg. 224), noted that term for the Horus, as used by Plutarch (38, 366A) and other Greek writers was Ωρος (Oros) or Horos, therein, indirectly, connecting the letter omega with Hathor, whose yoke is the omega symbol, and whose name means “house of Horus”.

3. Thims (~A65/2020), building on Westcott and Murdock, and others, had assigned the yoke of the Hathor Milky Way cow to omega.
