(452) 841 To say: O N., stand up, that thou mayest be pure, that thy ka may be pure. 841 Horus purifies thee in b.w. 842 Thy purification is the purification of Shu, thy purification is the purification of Tefnut, 842 thy purification is the purification of the four spirits of the houses, 842 C. when they rejoice in Buto because thou art pure. 842 Thy mother Nut purifies thee, the great protectress, she protects thee. 843 "Take to thee thy head; thy bones are united for thee," says Geb. 843 "Effaced be the evil which is with N., destroyed shall be the evil which is with him," says Atum. 22. A MISCELLANEOUS GROUP,

(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.

TEXTS OF MISCELLANEOUS CONTENTS,

(20) And make not for yourselves molten or graven gods ; a For they are vanity, And there is no spirit in them ; For they are work of (men's) hands, And all who trust in them, trust in nothing. Serve them not, nor worship them,

(34) "Who through his Pure Incantation hath destroyed all the evil ones!"

(4) Hermes, which is the name of my forebear, whose home is in a place called after him, doth aid and guard all mortal [men] who come to him from every side. As for Osiris’ [spouse]; how many are the blessings that we know Isis bestows when she’s propitious; how many does she injure when she’s wrath! For that the terrene and the cosmic Gods are easily enraged, in that they are created and composed of the two natures.

(649) 1830 To say: Osiris N., Geb has given thee all the gods, 1830 that they may unite with thee. Thou hast power over them; 1830 and they fraternize with thee, in their name of "n.wt"; 1830 they have not rejected thee in their name of ["The two 'itr.tpalaces"]. 1831 Osiris N., Horus has assigned them to thee, united (them). 1831a + 1. He has encircled for thee all the gods in the embrace of thy two arms, 1831a + 2. together with their lands, together with all their possessions, 1831a + 3. that they may do service of courtier, as thy "bodyguard." 1831a + 4. O N., thou art a great god; 1831a + 5. thou art great, thou art bent around like the "Circle which encircles the nb.wt." 1831 Osiris N., behold, thou art avenged, thou livest; thou movest daily. 1831 Osiris N., there is no discord in thee. 1831 d. Osiris, N., thou art the ka of all the gods. 1832 Horus has avenged thee; thou art become his ka. 1832a + 1. O Osiris N., thou art a god, the power of all the gods. 1832 An eye has gone forth from thy head like the "Great-in-charms" of Upper Egypt. 1832b + 1. He has given to thee as his eye in thy forehead as the "Great-in-charms" of Upper Egypt. 1832b + 2. An eye has gone forth from thy head (in) Lower Egypt. 1832b + 3. Thou dawnest as Horus, king of Lower Egypt; they are fraternizing with thee, 1832b + 4. in alliance with Horus, king of Lower Egypt. 1832b + 5.

May peace be to thee, which he gives to thee, (to) thy head.

(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."

(390) 683 To say: N. is pure, his ka is pure. 683 How well is N., how well is N.--the bodily health of Horus! 683 How well is N., how well is, N.--the bodily health of Set! 683 The bodily health of N. is (to be) between you. 684 It is N. who stretched the cord (of a bow) as Horus, who draw the string as Osiris. 684 It is that one (the dead) who has gone; it is this one (Osiris) who comes (again). 685 Art thou Horus? A face is upon thee; thou shalt be set on thy head. 685 Art thou Set? A face is upon thee; thou shalt be laid on thy back. 685 This foot of N. [which he has placed upon thee is the] foot of Mfd.t; 685 [that] hand of N., which he has placed upon thee, is the hand of Mfd.t, who lives in the "house of life." 686 N. strikes thee in thy face, 686 so that thy saliva runs away. [He ------- so that] thy cheek ---. 686 iw-serpent, lie down; n`w-serpent, glide away.

(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.

(2) Wherefore it stands to reason, that the ideas entertained of God by wicked men must be bad, and those by good men most excellent. And therefore he who is in soul truly kingly and gnostic, being likewise pious and free from superstition, is persuaded that He who alone is God is honourable, venerable, august, beneficent, the doer of good, the author of all good things, but not the cause of evil. And respecting the Hellenic superstition we have, as I think, shown enough in the book entitled by us The Exhortation, availing ourselves abundantly of the history bearing on the point. There is no need, then, again to make a long story of what has already been clearly stated. But in as far as necessity requires to be pointed out on coming to the topic, suffice it to adduce a few out of many considerations in proof of the impiety of those who make the Divinity resemble the worst men. For either those Gods of theirs are injured by men, and are shown to be inferior to men on being injured by us; or, if not so, how is it that they are incensed at those by whom they are not injured, like a testy old wife roused to wrath?

(11) This I ask Thee, O Ahura! tell me aright; how to these your (worshippers) may (that Piety once again and evermore) approach, to them to whom O Lord, Thy Faith is uttered? Yea, I beseech of Thee to tell me this, I who am known to Thee as Thy foremost of (servants); all other (Gods, with their polluted worshippers), I look upon with (my) spirit's hate .

(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.

(110) "O warlike Trojans," says the lyric poet, - "High ruling Zeus, who beholds all things, Is not the cause of great woes to mortals; But it is in the power of all men to find Justice, holy, pure, Companion of order, And of wise Themis The sons of the blessed are ye In finding her as your associate."

(455) 848 To say: The watercourses are full, the canals are inundated 848 on account of the purification (which) comes forth from Osiris. 848 Sm-priest, hereditary-prince, ye ten great ones of the palace, ye ten great ones of Heliopolis, 849 Great Ennead, be seated, 849 behold this purification of the king, this Osiris N., 849 who is being purified by smn (-natron) and by bd (-natron), 850 the spittle which went out of the mouth of Horus, the sputum which went out of the mouth of Set, 850 whereby Horus was purified, 850 whereby the evil, which was in him, was poured to the ground, after Set had done (it) to him, 850 whereby Set was purified, 850 (whereby) the evil, which was in him, was poured to the ground, after Horus had done (it) to him. 851 N. is thereby purified, and the evil which was in him is poured to the ground, 851 which Nwtknw has done to thee, together with thy spirits.

(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.

(366) 626 To say: O Osiris N., stand up, lift thyself up; 626 thy mother Nut has brought thee forth; Geb has wiped thy mouth for thee. 626 The Great Ennead avenge thee; 626 they put for thee thine enemy under thee. 627 Carry thou (him who is) greater than thou, said they to him, in thy name of "He of the Great Saw Palace." 627 Lift (him up who is) greater than thou, said they, in thy name of "He of the Great Land Nome." 628 Thy two sisters Isis and Nephthys come to thee; they heal thee 628 complete and great, in thy name of "Great Black," 628 fresh and great, in thy name of "Great Green." 629 Behold, thou art great and round like the "Great Round"; 629 behold, thou are bent around, and art round like the "Circle which encircles the nb.wt"; 629 behold, thou art round and great like the "Great Circle which sets." 630 Isis and Nephthys protected thee in Si�t, 630 even their lord in thee, in thy name of "Lord of Si�t"; 630 even their god in thee, in thy name of "God." 631 a. They adore thee, so that thou shalt not (again) withdraw from them, in thy name of "Dw-ntr" (or, "divine Dw"); 631 they take care of thee, so that thou mayest not (again) be angry, in thy name of "Dndr.w-boat." 632 Thy sister comes to thee, rejoicing for love of thee. 632 Thou hast placed her on thy phallus, 632 that thy seed may go into her, (while) it is pointed like Sothis. 632 Horus the pointed has come forth from thee as Horus who was in Sothis. 633 Thou art pleased with him, in his name of "Spirit who was in the Dndr.w-boat"; 633 he avenges thee, in his name of "Horus, the son, who avenges his father."
