(275) 415 To say: N. comes to you, ye falcons, 415 since (?) your houses are barred off for N., 415 his m`r-garment of ape-skin on his back. 416 N. opens the double doors (of heaven); N. goes to the boundary of the horizon; 40 N. laid down the md.t-garment on the ground; 416 N. became like the Great One who is in Crocodilopolis.

To the setting of the sun... To the setting of the sun... They caused to go out..."

(8) A gatekeeper in sky-colored habit immediately asked C.R.C. for his letter of invitation and, on receiving it, bade him enter and requested that he purchase a token. After describing himself as a Brother of the Red Rosie Cross, C.R.C. received in exchange for his water bottle a golden disk bearing the letters S C. Night drawing near, the wanderer hastened on to a second gate, guarded by a lion, and to which was affixed a tablet with the words Date et dabitur volis, where he presented a letter given him by the first gatekeeper.

"Though it be in deep sadness and pain, in cold or heat... gasping after breath... I will go on! Now! Open the Gate!" The scorpion-being spoke to Gilgamesh, saying: "Go on, Gilgamesh, fear not! The Mashu mountains I give to you freely (!), the mountains, the ranges, you may traverse... In safety may your feet carry you. The gate of the mountain..." As soon as Gilgamesh heard this he heeded the utterances of the scorpion-being. Along the Road of the Sun L he journeyed-- one league he traveled..., dense was the darkness, light there was none. Neither what lies ahead nor behind does it allow him to see. Two leagues he traveled..., dense was the darkness, light there was none, neither what lies ahead nor behind does it allow him to see.

(272) 392 To say: O Lofty-one, which is not sharpened, thou Door of Nun, 392 N. comes to thee. Cause this (door) to be opened for him. 392 N., he is small, 392 (yet) N. is chief of the Followers of R`; he is not chief of the evil gods (demons).

Then pushed the portals of the sacred door, Exclaiming: "Enter; but I give you warning That forth returns whoever looks behind."
