(519) 1201 Further, to say: O r.f-.f, doorkeeper of Osiris, 1201 Osiris has said: "Let this thy boat be brought for N., 1201 in which thy pure ones ferry, 1201 that thou mayest receive a libation in this eastern (?) quarter of the imperishable stars 1202 that N. may ferry in it 1202 with that band of green tissue, 1202 woven, as an eye of Horus, 1202 to bandage with it that finger of Osiris which became affected." 1203 N. arrives, ssw, ssw. 1203 The shoals of the great sea protect him. 1203 The double doors with windows (of heaven) are open; the double doors of the lower region are open. 1203 Ye Two Enneads, take N. with you 1203 to the Marsh of Offerings, in accordance with the dignity (quality) of N., (of the) lord of the 'imw.w. 1204 N. strikes with the `b-sceptre; N. directs with the 'i-t-sceptre; 1204 N. conducts the servants of R`. 1204 The earth has been refreshed; Geb has been censed 1204 the Two Enneads have been ndd (?); 1205 N. is a ba which passes among you, O gods. 1205 The p`t-pool (?) has been opened up; the p`t-pool has been filled with water; 1205 the Marsh of Reeds has been inundated; 1205 the Marsh of Offerings has been filled with water. 1206 They come to these four long-haired youths, 1206 who stand on the eastern side of the sky, 1206 and who prepare the two reed-floats for R`, 1206 that R` may go thereby to his horizon. 1206 They prepare the two reed-floats for N., 1206 that N. may go thereby to the horizon, to R`. 1207 O morning star, Horus of the D.t, the divine falcon, the great green (?), 1207 children of heaven, greetings to thee in these thy four faces, which are satisfied 1207 when they see those who are in Kns.t, 1207 who drive away the storm from those who are satisfied. 1208 Give thou these thy two fingers to N., 1208 which-thou gavest to the beautiful one (Nfr.t), daughter of the Great God, 1208 when the sky was separated from the earth, and when the gods ascended to heaven, 1209 whilst thou was a soul appearing in the bow of thy boat of 770 cubits (long), 1209 which the gods of Buto constructed for thee, which the eastern gods shaped for thee. 1210 N. is son of Khepri, born from the vulva, 1210 under the curls of 'Iw.-`., north of Heliopolis, out of the forehead of Geb. 1211 N. is he who was between the legs of Mnti-'irti, 1211 that night when be made the bread plain, 1211 that day when the heads of the mottled serpents were cut off. 1212 Take thou to thyself thy favourite m`b-harpoon, 1212 thy spear which seizes the canals, 1212 whose two points are the rays of the sun, 1212 whose two barbs are the claws of Mfd.t, 1212 with which N. cuts off the heads 1212 of the adversaries, who are in the Marsh of Offerings, 1213 when he descended to the ocean (great green). 1214 Bow thy head, decline thine arms (bow in humility), great green. 1213 The children of Nut are those who descend to thee, 1213 their garlands on their heads, 1213 their garlands of leaves on their necks; 1214 (those) who cause to flourish the crowns (of the North) of the canals of the Marsh of Offerings 1214 for the great Isis, who fastened on the girdle in Chemmis, 1214 when she brought her garment and burned incense before her son, Horus, the young child, 1215 when he was journeying through the land in his two white sandals, 1215 and went to see his father, Osiris. 1215 N. opened his way like fowlers; 1215 N. exchanged greetings with the lords of kas; 1216 N. went to the great island in the midst of the Marsh of Offerings, 1216 on which the gods cause the swallows to alight. 1216 The swallows are the imperishable stars. 1216 They give to N. the tree of life whereof they live, 1216 that N. may, at the same time, live thereof. 1217 (Morning Star), cause thou N. to ferry over with thee, 1217 to this thy great field, which thou didst subdue with the aid of the gods, 1217 (where) thou eatest at evening and at dawn, which is full of food. 1218 N. eats of that which thou eatest; 12 18 N. drinks of that which thou drinkest. 1218 Put thou the back of N. 1218 against the post, against it who is before its sisters. 1219 Thou (Morning Star) makest N. to sit down because of his truth 1219 (and) to stand up because of his venerableness. 1219 N. stands; he has taken (his) venerableness in thy presence, 1219 like Horus who took the house (heritage) of his father from the brother of his father, Set, in the presence of Geb. 1220 Put thou N. as a prince among the spirits, 1220 the imperishable stars of the north of the sky, 1220 who direct the offerings and protect the gifts, 1220 who cause to come those things (offerings and gifts) for those who preside over the kas in heaven.

(259) 312 To say: N. is Osiris in a dust-storm. 3112 The abomination of N. is the earth; he has, not entered into Geb, 312 that N. might perish; nor has he slept in his house on earth, 312 that the bones of N. might be broken. 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. THE DECEASED KING TRIUMPHS OVER HIS ENEMIES AND IS RECOGNIZED BY THE GODS,

(35) Leaf 20. At the top is written: "Rains are made by six stars." Under the inverted man it reads: "Receive new spirit. Arise, for you are asleep." The two sentences about the large figure read: "Remember Mercury, for ashes thou art and unto ashes thou shalt return. I thirst and am dead." Above the seven globes at the left is the admonition: "If he thirst, give him a drink and he shall live." Over the small man is written: "Hermes, the father of philosophers." The curved line of writing to which Hermes points says: "The measure of the drink." Under the central pedestal appears: "The light of my eyes is a lantern to my feet." Below is added: "If the beginning is unknown, the rest is unknown." Above the figure rising from the flames on the right is the statement: "He was resurrected after new Moon," and under the eagle: "Thou shalt not fly further with me."

(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.

(321) 517 To say: O Thou-whose-back-is-behind-him, bring to N. the fr.ttp.t, which was upon the back of Osiris, 517 that N. may ascend to heaven upon it; that N. may do service of courtier to R` in heaven.

(213) 134 O N., thou didst not depart dead; thou didst depart living, 134 (so) thou sittest upon the throne of Osiris, thy `b-sceptre in thy hand, thou commandest the living; 134 (thy) mk-sceptre and thy nb.t-sceptre in thy hand, commanding those of secret places. 135 Thine arm is like that of Atum; thy shoulders are like those of Atum; thy body is like that of Atum; thy back is like that of Atum; 135 thy seat is like that of Atum; thy legs are like those of Atum; thy face is like that of Anubis. 135 Thou travelest over the regions of Horus; thou travelest over the regions of Set (or, the regions of Horus serve thee; the regions of Set serve thee).

(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.

(15) Leaf 4. At the top: "Let them believe that . everything is possible. The art is fleeting, bright and rare, and not believed by the foolish." The words between the sun and crescent read "It is hidden," and on the panel across the body "The Book of life and true Treasury of the World." The panel to the left of the figure says "Moving almost all, and the soul of its body returns to the place from which it had fled, and ripens seven months or nine, and the King crowned with his diadem appears." The right panel states: "There are three Mercuries: animal, vegetable, and mineral." The text below is of such a cryptic nature that to translate it is well nigh impossible. It declares that by putting fire beneath the feet of the symbolic figure it is possible to extract therefrom the sun and the moon which the human body is shown elevating to a position of dignity above its head.

(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.

(581) 1551 To say: This thy cavern there is the broad-hall of Osiris N.. 1551 which brings the wind. The north wind refreshes; 1551 it raises thee as Osiris N. 1552 Ssm.w comes to thee, bearing water and wine; 1552 nti-mnwt.f (comes) bearing the vases which are before the two 'itr.t-palaces. 1552 Thou standest, thou sittest like Anubis, chief of the necropolis. 1553 Aker stands up for thee; Shu dries (lit. something like. "lies down," Wb. V 366) for thee. 1553 They tremble who see the inundation (when) it tosses; 1554 (but) the marshes laugh; the shores are become green; 1554 the divine offerings descend; the face of men brightens; the heart of the gods rejoices. 1555 "Deliver N. from his bandages, which restrain (?) the living, O gods," 1555 (is) in the mouth of those who run to them on the good day of running (while running is good). 1556 "Set is guilty; Osiris is justified," 1556 (is) in the mouth of the gods, on the good day of the going upon the mountain. 1557 (When) inundations are upon the land, 1557 he who hastens with his soul goes to his cave; 1557 (but) thou marchest behind thy spirit towards Knm-'iwnw, 1557 like the successor of Hrti, chief of [Ns].t.

(643) 1819 To say: Osiris N ----------------- 1819 ------- he lives. Thou art a god; [thou art powerful over the gods]. 1820 [An eye has gone forth from thy head, like] the Great-incharms, the Upper Egyptian white crown. 1820 -------------------- great 1820 s ---------------------- a thing gone out from him. 1821 ------------------ thy 1821 Thy ka stands among the gods ------------ thy ---- on earth. 1822 O N ------------------- 1822 draw the ka after thee; [draw life after thee] 1822 draw joy after thee; Osiris N -------------

(412) 721 To say: The Great One is fallen on his side; 721 he who is in Ndi.t stirs; 721 his head is lifted up by R`; 721 his abomination is to sleep, he hates to be tired. 722 Flesh of N., 722 rot not, decay not, let not thy smell be bad. 722 Thy foot shall not pass over, thy step shall not stride through, 722 thou shalt not tread upon the (corpse)-secretion of Osiris. 723 Thou shalt tiptoe heaven like (the toe-star); thy soul shall be pointed like Sothis (the pointed-star). 723 Soul shalt thou be and soul thou art; honoured shalt thou be and honoured thou art. 723 Thy soul stands there (like a king(?)) among the gods, like Horus who lives in 'Irw. 724 Thy dread gets into the heart of the gods, 724 like (the dread) of the red crown which is on the head of the king of Lower Egypt, like the white crown which is on the head of the king of Upper Egypt, 724 like the lock (of hair) which is upon the head of Mnti.w. 724 Thou layest hold of the hand (lit. arm) of the imperishable stars. 725 Thy bones will not be destroyed; thy flesh will not sicken, N.; 725 thy limbs will not be distant from thee, 725 for thou art as one among the gods. 725 Buto ferries up to thee; Hierakonpolis ferries down to thee, 726 the mnt.t-woman mourns for thee; the 'imi-nt-priest robes himself for thee. 726 A welcome comes out for thee, O N., on the part of thy father; a welcome comes out for thee on the part of R`. 727 The double doors of heaven are open for thee; the double doors of the d.w-stars are open for thee, 727 after thou art descended (in the grave) as the jackal of Upper Egypt, 727 as Anubis on his belly, as Wpi.w who resides in Heliopolis. 728 The great damsel who lives in Heliopolis has given her arm to thee, 728 for thou hast no mother among mankind who has borne thee, 728 for thou hast no father among men who has conceived thee. 729 Thy mother is the great wild-cow who lives in el-K�b, the white crown, the royal head-dress, 729 she with the long feathers, she with the two hanging breasts; 729 she will nurse thee; she will not wean thee. 730 Get up (from) on thy left side, sit (put thyself) on thy right side, O N. 730 Thy places among the gods will remain, while R` leans upon thee with his arm; 730 thy fragrance is as their fragrance; 730 thy sweetness is as the sweetness of the Two Enneads. 731 Thou appearest, N., in the royal head-dress (the things of the forehead), 731 thy hand seizes the Horus-weapon (m), thy fist grasps the dmace, 731 thou standest, N., as he who is in (or, who is chief of) the two 'itr.t-palaces, who judges the words of the gods. 732 Thou belongest to the n.w (-stars), the servants, of R`, who are before the morning star. 732 Thou wilt be born (again) at thy new moons (feasts) like the moon 732 while R` leans upon thee in the horizon, N., 733 and the imperishable stars serve (follow) thee. 733 Command thyself until R` comes, N.; 733 purify thyself; ascend to R`. 733 Heaven will not be empty of thee, N., for ever.

(103) 105. 68 Placed in his left [hand]. 103. 68 To say: Osiris [N.] --------------- [to] thee

(55) Osiris is often represented with the lower par, of his body enclosed in a mummy case or wrapped about with funeral bandages. Man's spirit consists of three distinct parts, only one of which incarnates in physical form. The human body was considered to be a tomb or sepulcher of this incarnating spirit. Therefore Osiris, a symbol of the incarnating ego, was represented with the lower half of his body mummified to indicate that he was the living spirit of man enclosed within the material form symbolized by the mummy case.

(442) 819 To say: That Great One is certainly fallen on his side; be who is in Ndi.t is thrown down. 819 Thine arm is seized by R`; thy head is lifted up by the Two Enneads. 819 Behold, he is come (again) as ; behold, Osiris is come as . 820 lord of the wine-cellar at the Wg-feast, 820 "good," as his mother said; "heir," as his father said, 820 conceived by heaven, born of the Dw.t. 820 Heaven conceives thee together with S'; 820 N. is born in the Dw.t together with S'. 821 He lives who lives at the command of the gods; so wilt thou live. 821 Thou ascendest with S' on the eastern side of the sky; 821 thou descendest with S' on the western side of the sky. 822 Your third is Sothis of the pure places, 822 she is your leader (or, who will lead you) by the beautiful ways in heaven, 822 in the Marsh of Reeds. 21. SECOND SERIES IN PRAISE OF NUT,

(19) Leaf 7. The verse at the top reads:," This Stone is so noble and worthy that Nature has hidden it in her recesses. Its soul is all fair, and pure, for it is the true sun. I inform you of this. Keep it removed, apart and separated. Whatever boon you crave, it will come to you bounteously. without sin, with pleasure and delight." The seated figure on the left holding aloft the hammer is described as breaking hard stone, while the words beside the man with the retort read: "Breaking of stone our replenishment." Between the standing figures below is the exclamation; "O Sages, seek and ye shall find my Stone!" Under the outstretched hand of the man with a basket appear the words: "Draw out sorerem [?] in the bottom." Below the pool which the man on the left is stirring appears the simple statement: "Our healing water." The faces of the four men are extremely well drawn.

(85) 92. 59 Place on the ground the table of offerings. 85. 59 To say: Osiris N., take to thyself the eye of Horus; be satisfied with it. Two offerings of the broad-hall.

(204) 118 Rejoice, O hoers; let the heart in the breasts of men be lifted up. 118 They have swallowed the 'bright eye of Horus which is in Heliopolis. 118 The little finger of N. draws out that which is in the navel of Osiris. 119 N. thirsts not, he hungers not; the heart of N. faints (?) not, 119 for it is in the hands of : which hold off his hunger. O fill (him), O fillers of hearts.

(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.

(355) 572 The double doors of heaven open. 572 O N., 572 thy head is joined for thee to thy bones; thy bones are joined for thee to thy head. 572 The double doors of heaven are open for thee; the great bolts are drawn back for thee; 572 a brick is drawn out of the great tomb for thee. 573 Thy face is that of a jackal; thy tail is that of a lion; 573 thou sittest upon this thy throne; thou commandest the spirits. 573 Thou comest to me, thou comest to me, thou comest indeed to me, 573 like (to) Horus after he had avenged his father, Osiris. 574 I am thine Anubis-priest. 574 Thou puttest thy hand on the land; thy warrior-arm is over the great region, 574 wherein thou goest (or, passest through) among the spirits. 574 Rise, lift up thyself like Osiris.
