(610) 1710 To say: Wake up for Horus; stand up before Set; 1710 raise thyself up, eldest son of Geb, 1710 before whom the Two Enneads tremble. 1711 (The keeper) of the palace stands up before thee, so that the three beginnings (of the divisions of the year) may be celebrated for thee. 1711 Thou dawnest on the (first of the) month; thou purifiest thyself on the day of the new-moon. 1711 The great mni.t (-stake) mourns for him, 1711 as for "Thee who standest without being tired," who resides in Abydos. 1712 Earth, hear that which the gods have spoken, what Horus says as he spiritualizes his father, 1712 like Horus- and like Min (or, Amn), 1712 like Seker who is at the head of Pdw-s. 1713 The earth speaks to thee: "The door of Aker is open for thee; the double doors of Geb are open for thee. 1713 Thou goest forth at the voice (of Anubis), for he has spiritualized thee, 1713 like Thot, (or) like Anubis, prince of the court of justice (or, divine court), 1714 that thou mayest judge, that thou mayest lean upon the Two Enneads, 1714 who are between the two sceptres, in this thy dignity of spirit, commanded by the gods to be in thee. 1715 If thou goest, Horus goes; if thou speakest, Set speaks; 1715 if thy step be hindered, the step of the gods will be hindered. 1716 Thou approachest the lake; thou advancest to the t wr, the Thinite nome; 1716 thou passest through Abydos, in this thy dignity of spirit., commanded by the gods to be in thee. 1717 A ramp is trodden for thee to the D.t to the place where is. 1717 The ox of heaven seizes thine arm; 1717 thou nourishest thyself with the food of the gods. 1718 The odour of Ddwn is on thee, the Upper Egyptian Youth, who is come from Nubia; 1718 he gives thee the incense wherewith the gods cense themselves. 1719 The two children (twins?) of the king of Lower Egypt have given birth to thee-- 1719 (they) who are on (his) head, (he) the lord of the great crown. 1719 R` calls to thee out of the 'iskn of heaven, 1719 as the jackal (god), nome-governor (of the Bows), the Two Enneads, 1719 as Horus who presides over his, abode (or thigh-offering). 1719 He appoints thee as the morning star (lit. god of the morning) in the midst of the Marsh of Reeds. 1720 The portal of heaven is open for thee towards the horizon; 1720 the heart of the gods rejoice at thy approach, 1720 as a star which ferries over the ocean which is under the underpart of Nut, 1720 in this, thy dignity issuing from the mouth of R`. 1721 Thou sittest upon this thy firm throne, like the Great One who is in Heliopolis; 1721 thou leadest the spirits (spiritualized ones); thou satisfiest the imperishable stars. 1722 Thine abundance is in that herb in which the gods, abound, 1722 and on which the spirits nourish themselves; 1722 thine eyes are opened by the earth, thy limbs are gathered up by the lord of (bw.t) the rebel city. 1723 Raise thyself up (like) nti-m (chief of Letopolis), 1723 when the great bread and this wine-like water were given to him. 1723 The 'im-trees serve thee, the nb-tree, bows its head to thee; 1723 a royal offering will be given to thee, such as Anubis will do for thee. 46.
