Helios chant from Dion Fortune

[AliceKnewIt]

This chant is on page 266 of "The Demon Lover" by Dion Fortune:

Helios, Helios, Quanto Rhopantanek!
Quanto Rhopantanek Helion!

Google translate did not help me, I don't know what it means.
Anyone study Latin?

Here is a lovely rendition of chant by two Brazilian singers:

"Helios, Helios, Quanto Rhopantanek!
Quanto Rhopantanek Helion!"

I don't have the book, so can't look it up for myself.
If it's written virtually like this, then it's a mixture of languages.
The only clear Latin word above is Quanto; Helios is a Greek word; Rhopantanek sounds Greek (though I did not get any meaningful hint from Google translate for this).

Quanto means "by how much"

Try Greek, ATV

Liber Resh vel Helios

What is "ATV" ?

[Danica]

Rhopantanek may be divided into parts:

Rho (ρω) - panta (παντα) - nek

ρω = the short form of "I ask"
παντα = all/everything/continuity

-nek isn't Greek (I've searched for suffixes, and this definitely isn't a Greek suffix, nor a word in Greek)

Quanto is a clear Latin word, and I could not find any Greek word with the same root.

[Gnosomai Emauton]

In context, it's meant to be an Atlantean invocation. Best guess is that Fortune created words that could feasibly have come down to Greek and Latin from a common "Atlantean" source.

THANK YOU !

So roughly, it's something like:

Helios, Helios, How much I ask for everything!
How much I ask for everything, Helion!

Here is a beautiful rendition of the chant, sung by two young men from Brazil:
