(258) 308 To say: N. is Osiris in a dust-storm. 308 His abomination is the earth; N. has not entered into Geb, 308 that he might be destroyed; nor has he slept in his house on earth, 308 that his bones might be broken. His wounds are effaced: 308 N. has purified himself with the eye of Horus; his wound is effaced by the two mourners of Osiris; 308 N. has let the running (of his wound) flow to the ground at u. 309 It is his sister, the lady of P, who wept for him. 309 N. is on his way to heaven; N. is on his way to heaven; on the wind; on the wind. 309 He is not hindered; there is no one by whom he is hindered. 309 N., he is "on his own," the eldest of the gods. 310 His bread comes on high with (that of) R`; 310 his offering comes out of Nun. 310 N. is one who comes again; 310 he goes, he comes with R`. 310 His houses are visited by him. 311 N. seizes kas; he frees kas; 311 he covers up evil; he abolishes evil. 311 N. spends the day; he spends, the night, while he appeases the two choppers in Wn.w. 311 Nothing opposes his foot; nothing restrains his heart.

(81) 56 Awake thou in peace, (as) Ti.t awakes, in peace, (as) Tit.t (she of Ti.t) awakes in peace, 56 (as) the eye of Horus in Buto (awakes) in peace, (as) the eye of Horus which is in the houses of the Lower Egyptian crown (awakes) in peace, 56 (the eye) which the weavers wove (?), (the eye) which the sedanchairman planned (?). 57 Cause thou (0 Eye) the two lands to bow to N., as they bow to Horus,. 57 Cause the two lands to fear N., as they fear Set. 57 Sit thou before N., as his god; open thou his way before the spirits, 57 that be may stand before the spirits like Anubis, "First of the Westerners." 57 To say four times: Forward, forward to Osiris. Two rolls of linen.

(477) 956 To say: The sky shakes, the earth quakes. 956 Horus comes; Thot appears. They raise Osiris from on his side; 956 they cause him to stand (as chief) among the Two Enneads. 957 Remember, Set, put in thy heart 957 this word which Geb spoke, this threat which the gods made against thee 957 in the house of the prince, in Heliopolis, because thou didst strike Osiris to the ground, 958 as thou, Set, didst say: "I have not done this against him," 958 that thou mayest prevail thereby, having been acquitted, that thou mayest prevail in spite of Horus. 959 As thou, Set, didst say: "It is he who defied me" 959 --and so arose his name of "'Ik-w-t"; 959 as thou, Set, didst say: "It is he who came too near to me" 959 --and so arose his name of "" 959 he with outstretched leg, with long stride, who inhabits the land of Upper Egypt. 960 Raise thyself up, Osiris; Set raised himself up, 960 after he had heard the threat of the gods, who spoke concerning the father of the god. 960 Isis has thine arm, Osiris; Nephthys has thy hand; thou goest between them. 961 Heaven is given to thee, earth is given to thee, the Marsh of Reeds, 961 the Horite regions, the Setite regions, 961 the cities are given to thee, the nomes are united for thee, saith Atum. 961 It is Geb who has spoken about it. 962 Whet thy knife, Thot, the sharp, the cutting, 962 which removes heads, which cuts out hearts. 963 It shall remove the heads, it shall cut the hearts 963 of those who would place themselves in the way of N., when he goes to thee, Osiris; 963 of those who would restrain N., when he goes to thee, Osiris. 963 Give him life and joy. 964 N. comes to thee, lord of heaven; N. comes to thee, Osiris, 964 that N. may wipe thy face, that he may clothe thee with the clothes of a god, 964 serving as priest to thee in the Ddi.t (necropolis). 965 It is Sothis, thy daughter, who loves thee, 965 who secures thy livelihood (or, makes thy yearly offerings), in this her name of "Year", 965 who conducts N., when N. comes to thee. 966 N. comes to thee, lord of heaven; N. comes to thee, Osiris, 966 that N. may wipe thy face, that N. may clothe thee with the clothes of a god, 966 while N. serves as a priest to thee in the 'Idi, 966 that he may eat a limb of thine enemy, 966 that he may cut it in pieces for Osiris, so that he may make him as he who is at the head of the butchers. 967 N. comes to thee, lord of heaven; N. comes to thee, Osiris, 967 that N. may wipe thy face, that N. may clothe thee with the clothes of a god, 967 that N. may do for thee that which Geb commanded that he should do for thee, 967 that he fasten thine arm on the 'nh-sceptre, that he lift up thine arm on the w-sceptre. 968 N. comes to thee, lord of heaven; N. comes to thee, Osiris, 968 that N. may wipe thy face, that N. may clothe thee with the clothes of a god, 968 while N. serves as priest to thee. 969 It is Horus thy son, whom thou hast conceived; he has not put N. over the dead, 969 he puts him among the gods, for he is divine. 970 Their water is the water of N., their bread is the bread of N., 970 their purification is the purification of N. 970 What Horus has done for Osiris, he has done for N.

(37) And now hearken unto us : Let us send to Aram and Philistia and Moab and Amrnon, and let us choose for ourselves chosen men who are ardent for battle, and let us go against him and do battle with him, and let us exterminate him from the earth before he growetli strong."

(260) 316 To say: O Geb, bull of Nut, N. is a Horus, heir of his father. 316 N. is the goer, the comer, the fourth of these four gods, 316 who have brought water (and) made themselves clean, who rejoice over the "power" of their fathers. 316 He desires that he be justified by that which he has done. 317 Since Tfn and Tefnut have judged N.; since the Two Truths have heard (him); 317 since Shu has been advocate (tongue); since the Two Truths have given verdict; 317 he has encompassed the thrones of Geb, he has raised himself to that which he wished. 318 (So now that) his limbs are united, which were hidden (in the grave), 318 he unites himself with those who are in Nun. He puts an end to his words in Heliopolis, 318 as N. goes forth on that day in the true form of an . 319 N. destroys battle; he punishes revolt. 319 N. goes forth (as) the protector of truth; he brings her, for she is with him. 319 Those who were furious, (now) busy themselves for him; those who are in Nun, (now) give life over to him. 320 The refuge of N. is in his eye; the protection of N. is in his eye; 320 the power of N. is in his eye; the strength of N. is in his eye. 321 O gods of South, North, West, East, respect N., fear him; 321 he has sat in the t of the two courts. 321 That uraeus-serpent dnn-wt.t might have burned you, for she attained your heart, 322 you (they) who might have come to N. as an adversary; come to him (as a friend), come to him. 322 N. is the dd of his father, the nb of his mother. 323 The abomination of N. is to walk in darkness, 323 lest he see those who are upside down. 323 N. will come forth in this day; he will bring truth with him. 323 N. will not be delivered up to your flame, O gods.

(221) 196 To say: O N.t (Crown of Lower Egypt), O 'Inw (Crown of Lower Egypt), O Great One (Crown of Lower Egypt), 196 O Great-in-magic (Crown of Lower Egypt), O Nsr.t (Uraeus), 197 make thou the terror of N. to be like the terror of thee; 197 make thou the awe of N. to be like the awe of thee; 197 make thou the respect for N. to be like the respect for thee; 197 make thou the love for N. to be like the love for thee; 197 make thou that his `b-sceptre be at the head of the living; make thou that his m-sceptre be at the head of the spirits; 197 make thou that his blade be firm against his enemies. 198 O 'Inw-Crown, thou has come forth from him as he came forth from thee. 198 The great 'I.t has given birth to thee, the 'I.t-wt.t has adorned thee; 198 the 'I.t-wt.t has given birth to thee, the great 'I.t has adorned thee, 198 for as for thee, thou art like Horus, who fought in protection of his eye.

(220) 194 The two doors of the horizon are open; its bolts slide. I 94 He has come to thee, N.t (Crown of Lower Egypt); he has come to thee, Nsr.t (Uraeus); 194 he has, come to thee, Great One; he has come to thee, Great-inmagic (Crown of Lower Egypt). 194 He is pure for thee; he is in awe of thee. 195 Mayest thou be satisfied with him; mayest thou be satisfied with his purity; 195 mayest thou be satisfied with his word, which he speaks to thee: 195 "How beautiful is thy face, when it is peaceful, new, young, for a god, father of the gods, has begotten thee!" 195 He has come to thee, Great-in-magic (Crown of Lower Egypt). 195 It is Horus, who has fought in protection of his eye, Great-inmagic.

(48) Though the temples of Thebes and Karnak be now but majestic heaps of broken and time-battered stone, the spirit: of Egyptian philosophy still marches triumphant through the centuries. Though the rock-hewn sanctuaries of the ancient Brahmins be now deserted and their carvings crumbled into dust, still the wisdom of the Vedas endures. Though the oracles be silenced and the House of the Mysteries be now but rows of ghostly columns, still shines the spiritual glory of Hellas with luster undiminished. Though Zoroaster, Hermes, Pythagoras, Plato, and Aristotle are now but dim memories in a world once rocked by the transcendency of their intellectual genius, still in the mystic temple of Freemasonry these god-men live again in their words and symbols; and the candidate, passing through the initiations, feels himself face to face with these illumined hierophants of days long past.

(369) 640 To say: O Osiris N., stand up. Horus has caused thee to stand up. 640 Geb has caused Horus to see his father in thee, in thy name of "He of the royal castle." 641 Horus has given the gods to thee; he has brought them to thee, so that they may illuminate thy face. 641 Horus has given his eye to thee, that thou mayest see with it. 642 Horus has placed thine enemy under thee, 642 that he may carry thee, that thou be not far from him, 642 and that thou mayest come (again) in thy (former) state. The gods have bound (again) thy face to thee. 643 Horus has opened thine eye for thee, that thou mayest see with it, in her (the eye) name of "Opener of the way." 643 Thine enemy is smitten by the children of Horus; they made his smiting red (bloody); 643 they have punished him; he is severely punished, so that his smell is evil. 644 Horus has fitted thy mouth to thee; he has adjusted for thee thy mouth to thy bones. 644 Horus has opened thy mouth for thee; 644 thy beloved son has re-instated thy two eyes for thee. 644 Horus does not permit thy face to be without the power to see, 644 in thy name of "Horus chief of his subjects."

(690) 2092 To say: Wake up, Osiris; let the weary god awake. 2092 The god stands up; the god is powerful over his body. 2093 Wake up, N.; let the weary god awake. 2093 The god stands up; the god is powerful over his body. 2094 Horus stands up; he clothes N. with linen--him who came forth from him. 2094 N. is equipped as a god, standing in the pr.wr-palace, sitting with the Two Enneads. 2095 "O N., stand up, come in peace," says R` to thee; "messenger of the great god, 2095 thou goest to heaven; thou goest forth through the doors of the horizon; 2096 Geb sends thee; thou art a soul like a [god, respected like a god]; 2096 [thou art powerful] over thy body, like a god, 2096 like Ba, chief of the living, 2096 like m, chief of spirits." 2097 N. comes; he is equipped like a god; his bones are assembled like [Osiris]; 2097 [he comes behind his uraeus]. 2097 Thou hast come, O N., out of Heliopolis; thou art avenged; thy heart is placed in thy body; 2098 Thy face is like that of a jackal; thy flesh is like that of Atum; 2098 thy b is in thy body; thy m is behind thee; Isis is before thee; Nephthys is behind thee. 2099 Thou journeyest through the regions of Horus; thou travelest through the regions of Set. 2099 It is Shu and Tefnut who lead thee, when thou ascendest from Heliopolis. 2100 O N., Horus has woven his tent over thy head; 2100 Set has stretched out thy canopy; 2100 be enclosed, O father, by the divine tent; thou art brought there in thy beloved places. 2101 O N., Horus comes to thee provided with his souls, 2101 pi, Dw-mw.t.f, 'Im.ti, b-n.w.f. 2102 a. They bring to thee thy name of "Imperishable"; 2102 thou perishest not; thou diest not. 2103 O N., thy sister b.wt has purified [thee] 2103 in Rd-wr chief of the lakes. 2103 Thou appearest to them like a jackal, like Horus chief of the living, 2103 like Geb chief of the Ennead, like Osiris chief of spirits. 2104. Thou commandest spirits; thou leadest the [imperishable stars]. 2105 The evil of Osiris--the evil of N.--the evil of the bull of the Two Enneads-- 2105 the god is loosed (from it), N. has power over his body. 2105 N. is loosed (from it); N. has power over his body. 2106 O N., Horus, is standing, he glorifies thee; 2106 he conducts thee, when thou ascendest to heaven. 2107 Thy mother Nut receives thee; she lays hold of thine arm, 2107 that thou mayest not be in need, that thou mayest not moan (like a cedar), 2107 (but) that thou mayest live like the coleoptera (lives) and endure in [Mendes]. 2108 O N., thou art adorned like a god; thy face is like (that of) a jackal, as Osiris, 2108 that soul in Ndi.t, that mighty one in the great city. 2109. The sky trembles, the earth quakes before the god, before N. 2110 N. [is not enveloped] by the earth; 2110 'I.t-wt.t, thou art not enveloped by the earth. 2110 Thy fame is by day; thy fear is by night, as a god, lord of f ear. 2110 Thou commandest the gods like the mighty one, chief of the mighty. 2111. [O] Osiris, the overflow comes, the inundation hastens, Geb groans. 2112 I have pitied thee with pity; I have smitten him who acted with evil (intent) against thee; 2112 that thou mayest live, that thou mayest raise thyself up because of thy strength. 2113. O N., [the inundation comes 1, [the overflow hastens], Geb [groans]. 2114 Exult in the divine efflux which is in thee; let thy heart live; 214 thy divine limbs are in good condition; loosen thy bindings. 2115 Horus comes to thee, N.; he does for thee that which he did for his father Osiris, 2115 that thou mayest live like unto the life of those in heaven, and [that thou mayest come into being] more (truly) than those who are on earth. 2116 Raise thyself up because of thy strength; ascend thou to heaven. 2116 The sky bears thee like 3; thou hast power over thy body; 2116 thou defendest thyself against thine enemy. 2117. [O N.] [I have wept for thee], I have mourned for thee; 2118 I shall not forget thee; my heart will not weary to give thee offerings every day, 2118 at the (feast of the) month, at the (feast of the) half month, at the (feast of) covering the fire-pan, at the (feast of) Thot, at the wgfeast, 2118 at the (feast of) slaughtering, (at) the (feast of) thy years, (at) (the feast of) thy birth, at the beginnings of thy months, during which thou livest as a god. 2119. O N., may thy body be clothed, that thou mayest come to me. 58. TEXTS OF MISCELLANEOUS CONTENTS,

(11) When I behold Thy mouths, striking terror with their tusks, like Time’s all-consuming fire, I am disoriented and find no peace. Be gracious, Ο Lord of the gods, Ο Abode of the universe!

(30) Then two fiends remain at large, Aharman and Âz; Aûharmazd comes to the world, himself the Zôta and Srôsh the Râspî, and holds the Kûstî in his hand; defeated by the Kûstî formula the resources of the evil spirit and Âz act most impotently, and by the passage through which he rushed into the sky he runs back to gloom and darkness.

(524) 1233 To say: N. is pure with the purification which Horus did to his eye. 1233 N. is Thot who avenges thee (the eye); N. is not Set who seizes it. 1233 Rejoice, O gods; rejoice, O Two Enneads. 1234 Let Horus approach N. 1234 N. is crowned with the white crown, the eye of Horus wherewith he is powerful. 1234 The gods rejoice for him who ascends. 1235 The face of N. is as that of a jackal; the two arms of N. are as those of a falcon; 1235 the extremities of the wings of N. are as those of Thot. 1235 May Geb let N. fly to heaven, 1235 that this N. may take the eye of Horus, to himself! 1236 N. has penetrated your frontier, ye dead; 1236 N. has overturned your boundary stones, ye who are before and with Osiris; 1236 N. has conjured the paths of Set; 1236 N. has passed by the messengers of Osiris. 1237 No god can hold N.; 1237 no opponent stands in the way of N. 1237 N. is Thot, the strongest of the gods; 1237 Atum calls N. to heaven for life. 1237 N. has taken the eye of Horus to himself! 1238 N. is the son of Khnum; there is nothing evil which N. has done. 1238 Weighty is this word before thee, O R`. 1238 Hear it, bull of the Ennead. 1239 Open the way of N.; enlarge the place of N. before the gods. 1239 N. has taken the eye of Horus to himself; N. has attached to himself that which went forth from his head. 1240 N. has caused him to see with both his eyes complete, 1240 that he may punish his enemies therewith. 1240 Horus has taken his eye and has given it to N. 1241 His odour is the odour of a god; the odour of the eye of Horus appertains to the flesh of N. 1241 N. is in front with it; N. sits upon your great throne, O gods; 1241 N. is side by side with Atum, between the two sceptres. 1242 N. is the wnnw (messenger?) of the gods in search of the eye of Horus; 1242 N. searched for it at Buto; he found it at Heliopolis; 1242 N. snatched it from the head of Set, at the place where they fought. 1243 Horus, give thine arm to N.; Horus take to thyself thine eye; 1243 it mounts up to thee; it ascends to thee; it comes to thee, N., for life; 1243 the eye of Horus comes to thee with N., before N., for ever.

(1) Why dost thou weep, Asclepius? Nay, more than this, by far more wretched,—Egypt herself shall be impelled and stained with greater ills. For she, the Holy [Land], and once deservedly the most beloved by God, by reason of her pious service of the Gods on earth,—she, the sole colony of holiness, and teacher of religion [on the earth], shall be the type of all that is most barbarous. And then, out of our loathing for mankind, the World will seem no more deserving of our wonder and our praise. All this good thing, —than which there has been fairer naught that can be seen, nor is there anything, nor will there [ever] be,—will be in jeopardy.

(246) 252 See, how N. stands there among (you), the two horns on him (like) two wild-bulls, 252 for thou art the black ram, son of a black sheep. 252 born of a white sheep, nursed by four sheep. 253 The blue-eyed Horus comes against you; guard yourselves against the red-eyed Horus, 253 furious in wrath, whose might no one withstands. 253 His messengers go; his runner hastens. 253 They announce to him who lifts up his arm in the East 254 that this One passes in thee of whom Dwn-`n.wi said: "He shall command my (?) fathers, the gods." 254 The gods are silent before thee; the Ennead lay their hands upon their mouth, 254 before this One in thee (of whom) Dwn-`n.wi said: "He shall command my (?) fathers, the gods." 255 Stand at the doorway of the horizon; open the double doors of b.w, 255 that thou mayest stand at their (the gods') head, as Geb at the head of his Ennead-- 255 they (the gods) enter, they are smitten with fear; they depart, they lift up their head. 256 They see thee like Min, chief of the two 'itr.t-palaces. 256 He stands, he stands behind thee, thy brother stands behind thee, thy relative (n) stands behind thee. 256 Thou perishest not; thou art not destroyed. 256 Thy name remains among men; thy name has its being among the gods.

(676) 2007 To say: Thy water belongs to thee, thine abundance belongs to thee, thine efflux belongs to thee, 2007 which issues from Osiris. 2008 Collect thy bones; arrange thy limbs; 2008 shake off thy dust; untie thy bandages. 2009 The tomb is open for thee; the double doors of the coffin are undone for thee; 2009 the double doors of heaven are open for thee. 2009 "Hail," says Isis; "(come) in peace," says Nephthys, 2009 when they see their brother at the feast of Atum. 2010 These thy libations, Osiris, are in Busiris, in Grg.w-b(.f ); 2010 thy soul is in thy body; thy might is behind thee; remain chief of (or, master of) thy powers. 2011 Raise thyself up, N., 2011 travel over the southern regions; travel over the northern regions; 2011 be thou powerful over the powers that are in thee. 2011 Thy spirits, the jackals, are given thee which Horus of Hierakonpolis has given to thee. 2012 Raise thyself up, N., be seated on thy firm (or, copper) throne. 2012 Anubis, who is chief of the divine pavillion (s-ntr), has commanded 2012 thy purification with thy eight nm.t-jars and (thy) eight `b.tjars, which come from the s-ntr. 2013 Thou art a god who supports the sky, who beautifies the earth. 2013 The mnt.t-woman laments for thee; the great min.t mourns for thee; 2014 arms agitate for thee; feet tremble for thee, 2014 when thou ascendest as a star, as the morning star. 2014 He comes to thee, his father; he comes to thee, Geb; 2015 take his hand, let him sit upon the great seat; 2015 let him unite with the two mt-lakes of b.w; 2015 purify his mouth with natron on the lap of Mnti-'irti; 2015 purify his nails, upper and lower. 2016 Let one do for him what thou didst do for his brother, Osiris, . on the day of counting the bones, 2016 of making firm the sandals, of ferrying over the lake Rd-wr. 2017 To thee come the wise and the understanding; 2017 thou art called to the southern 'itr.t-palace; 2017 to thee come (the gods of) the full northern 'itr.t-palace, with a salutation. 54.

His wounds are effaced; 312 N. has purified himself with the eye of Horus; his wound is effaced by the two mourners of Osiris; 312 N. has let the running (of his wound) flow to the ground at u. 313 It is the sister of N., the lady P, who wept for him. 313 The two nurses (or, attendants), who wept for Osiris, wept for him. 313 N. is on his way to heaven; N. is on his way to heaven, with Shu and R`. 313 N. is not hindered; there is no one who hinders him. 313 N. is upon his feet, the eldest of the gods. 313 N. has no session in the divine court. 314 The bread of N. comes on high with (that of) R`; 314 his offering comes out of Nun. 314 N. is one who comes again; 314 N. goes with R`; N. comes with R`. 3, 4 His houses are visited by him. 3, 5 He covers up evil; he abolishes evil. 315 He seizes kas; he frees kas. 315 N. spends the day; he spends the night; N. frees the two choppers in Wn.w. 315 Nothing opposes the feet of N.; nothing restrains the heart of N. 8.

(474) 939 To say: "How beautiful indeed it is to see," says she, said Isis; 939 "how fortunate indeed it is to see," says she, said Nephthys 939 to the king, to this Osiris N., 940 as he ascends to heaven among the stars, among the imperishable stars, 940 the lion-helmet (renown) of N. on his head, 940 his terror on both sides of him, his magic preceding him! 941 N. goes therewith to his mother Nut; 941 N. climbs upon her, in this her name of "Ladder." 941 The gods who inhabit heaven are brought to thee; they unite for thee with the gods who inhabit the earth, 941 that thou mayest be with them, that thou mayest go on their arms. 942 The Souls of Buto are brought to thee; the Souls of Hierakonpolis are united for thee. 942 "All belongs to N.," 942 so said Geb, who has spoken thereof with Atum. So it was done for him. 943 "The Marshes of Reeds, 943 the Horite regions, the regions of Set 943 all belongs to N.," 943 so said Geb, who has spoken thereof with Atum. So it was done for him. 944 He came against thee; he said he would kill thee. 944 He has not killed thee; it is thou who wilt kill him. 944 Thou holdest thine own against him, as the surviving bull of the wild-bulls. 945 Further, to say four times: N., thou remainest in life and joy; 945 N., thou shalt certainly remain in life and joy.
