(554) 1370 To say: N. is verily a son of the great wild-cow; she conceived him and gave him birth; 1370 they place him in the interior of her wing; 1370 she ferries over the lake with thee (i.e. him); she traverses the ~iw-canal with thee (i.e. him). 1371 Thy fillet as chief of the house is at thy back; 1371 thy `b-mni-sceptre is, in thy hand, 1371 that thou mayest strike, that thou mayest rule, in accordance with thy dignity, which appertains to lords of the 'im3, 1372 for indeed thou art of the Followers of R`, who are behind the morning star (Dw). 1372 Let no evil be to thee; let no evil be to thy name, the first on earth.

(393) 689 To say: Thy protective -sycamore is thy corn; thy corn is thy protective-sycamore. 689 Thy tail shall be in thy mouth, combat-serpent. Turn thyself . around thy turning, great bull. 669 ----- his (?) --- the Great escaped from him whom he had charmed. 689 S-t-serpent, protect thyself against the earth; s-t-serpent, protect thyself against Geb
