Representations of the Tetragrammaton name or combinations inspired by it in languages such as Greek and Coptic, giving some indication of its pronunciation, occur as names of powerful agents in Jewish magical papyri found in Egypt. [54]
[19TH Century or earlier] In about the year 200 A.D. Clement of Alexandria had written in the Greek Language, that the Tetragrammaton was pronounced "Iaoue". "Iaoue" looks like it is composed of 5 Greek vowels, however the "ou" in "Iaoue" is a Greek diphthong, so in effect "Ia(ou)e" is composed of 4 not 5 Greek vowels.
