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.

"Thou art gone, thou art come; thou art awake, thou wast asleep; thou remainest alive. 1007 Stand up, see this; stand up, hear this, 1007 what thy son has done for thee, what Horus has done for thee. 1007 He beats him who beats thee; he binds him who binds thee; 1008 he puts him under his great daughter who is in dm. 1008 (it is) thy great sister who collected thy flesh, who gathered thy hands, 1008 who sought thee, who found thee upon thy side on the shore of Ndi.t, 1009 so that mourning ceased in the two 'itr.t-palaces." 1009 Ye gods, speak to him, bring him to you. 1009 But thou shalt ascend to heaven; thou shalt become Wp.w.wt. 1010 Thy son Horus leads thee on the ways of heaven. 1010 Heaven is given to thee; earth is given to thee; the Marsh of Reeds is given to thee, 1010 together with those two great gods who come from Heliopolis.

(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!

(10) After Osiris, here symbolized as the sun, had become King of Egypt and had given to his people the full advantage of his intellectual light, he continued his path through the heavens, visiting the peoples of other nations and converting all with whom he came in contact. Plutarch further asserts that the Greeks recognized in Osiris the same person whom they revered under the names of Dionysos and Bacchus. While he was away from his country, his brother, Typhon, the Evil One, like the Loki of Scandinavia, plotted against the Sun God to destroy him. Gathering seventy-two persons as fellow conspirators, he attained his nefarious end in a most subtle manner. He had a wonderful ornamented box made just the size of the body of Osiris. This he brought into a banquet hall where the gods and goddesses were feasting together. All admired the beautiful chest, and Typhon promised to give it to the one whose body fitted it most perfectly. One after another lay down in the box, but in disappointment
