(6) This chapter is said over a consecrated crown placed upon the face of the person, and thou shalt put incense upon the flame, for N (the deceased), effecting his triumph over all his adversaries, whether Dead or Living, that he may become one of the followers of Osiris. And there shall be given to him drink and food in presence of this god. Thou shall say it at dawn twice; A great protection is it: with undeviating regularity for times infinite

(33) Give thou delicious breezes of the north wind to the Osiris N

(24) O ye who unclose the ways and open the roads to beneficent souls in the house of Osiris, unclose then the ways and open the roads to the soul of N who is with you, let him enter boldly and come forth in peace at the house of Osiris, without hindrance and without repulse. Let him enter at his pleasure and go forth at his will, triumphantly with you; and let that be executed which he shall order in the house of Osiris

(3) Hail, Osiris, thou art born twice. Ua has raised thee, Anubis on his mountain has caused thy bandages to grow upon thee. O, N. Ptah Sokaris grants thee to put thy hand on the ornaments of the divine house

(5) I have been exalted by the mouth of Osiris, applause surrounds him on his left and on his right

(13) Let me seize that Thigh which is under the place of Osiris, with which I may open the mouth of the gods and sit by him, like Thoth the Scribe, sound of heart, with thousands of loaves, beer, beef, and fowl upon the table of my father, and the flesh of oxen and birds of various kinds, which I offer to Horus, which I present to Thoth, and which I sacrifice to the Lord of Heaven

(64) Make me offerings. I have been filled with the vital sap coming out of Osiris. I shall not be despoiled of it. The end

(22) O ye who bring beneficent souls into the house of Osiris, do ye bring the soul of N together with you into the house of Osiris; let him see as you see, let him hear as you you hear, let him stand as you stand, and sit as you sit [in the house of Osiris

(6) —Deliver Osiris N. Do not let him be carried away by his enemies, to him who devours the soul, who raises evil accusations. Restore his soul to his body and his body to his soul

(11) O great One, who enterest and speakest to him who presenteth the tablets and guardeth the door of Osiris, grant that I may come in and be glorified, let me be appraised, and let me be made vigorous, that I may come and avenge myself

(3) Let my mouth be given to me. Let my mouth be opened by Ptah with that instrument of steel wherewith he openeth the mouths of the gods

(6) I have taken a bite of these sweet things which are on the hands (?) of Osiris N. the loaves (?) from above, which belong to Rā, made of grain of Abu, and four loaves from below which belong to Seb, made of grain from the South. The god of thy domain brings thee the Field of Hotepit, his hands are before thee

(41) Said on a figure of the deceased which is placed in a boat. Thou shalt put the Sektit boat on his right, and the Âtit boat on his left. Offerings will be made to him of cakes, beer, and all good things, on the day of the birth of Osiris. He to whom these things have been done will be a living soul for ever, and will not die a second time

(2) The old texts which we follow here, join in one chapter, 141, what in the Turin Todtenbuch is divided into two, 141, 142; 143 being merely the vignettes which accompany them. This chapter is the first of a series in which the deceased has to show his knowledge. His being well-informed as to the names of the gods and of their sanctuaries, and also of the doors through which he passes, the halls which he enters, confers upon him certain privileges. Here the deceased has to recite the names of the gods while offerings are made to them; the second part of the chapter refers only to Osiris in all his forms, and in his numerous sanctuaries, which have not all been identified. The old versions differ only slightly in length, from one or two of the gods being omitted. The translation follows mainly the Cairo papyrus, Cc , with a few variants taken from other papyri, one of the best of which is the papyrus papyrus Nu of the British Museum (ed. Budge

(14) Let not the Osiris N be shipwrecked on the great voyage by him whose face is in his own lap: for the name of Rā is upon the Osiris, and his token of honour is on his mouth, which speaketh to him who listeneth to the words of the Osiris N

(26) But the Osiris N knoweth it, and it attaineth not thy Bark. For the Osiris N is within it; the Osiris N who maketh the divine offerings

(7) Thou takest possession of water, and thou marchest towards the altar of Sashert: four measures of water, as was commanded by Osiris to N. Shu has handed over his wealth to N. ; they are thy bread and thy beer

(4) And that which I have said to him say thou, Osiris

(6) Rise up, then, Osiris: I have stricken down for thee thine enemies, I have delivered thee from them

(16) The Osiris N hath not told what he hath seen; he hath not repeated what he hath heard in the house of the god who hideth his face
