An echo of Rig Veda, maybe?
"What would come of that, only the gods knew, and maybe not they either." (p. 364)
Not a dogmatic affirmation of divine omniscience but a pagan agnosticism.
"None knoweth whence creation has arisen;
"And whether he has or has not produced it:
"He who surveys it in highest heaven,
"He only knows, or haply he may know not."
-Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan and Charles A. Moore (Eds.), A Source Book In Indian Philosophy (Princeton, New Jersey, 1973), p. 24.
7. Whence all creation had its origin,
the creator, whether he fashioned it or whether he did not,
the creator, who surveys it all from highest heaven,
he knows — or maybe even he does not know.
the creator, whether he fashioned it or whether he did not,

Kaor, Paul!
And I don't accept as true what you quoted from A SOURCE BOOK OF INDIAN PHILOSOPHY, because I find it logically inconsistent with omnipotence and omniscience of God.
