(537) 11298a. To say: O N., arise, sit thou on the throne of Osiris; 1298 thy flesh is complete like (that of) Atum; thy face like (that of) a jackal. 1299 Give thou thy mouth to R`. 1299 He congratulates thee on what thou hast said; he praises thy words. 1299 Arise; thou ceasest not to be; thou perishest not. 1300 Live, N., thy mother Nut lays hold of thee, she unites her. self with thee; 1300 Geb seizes thine arm. "Thou comest in peace," say thy fathers. 1300 Thou art possessed of thy body; thou art clothed in thy body. 1301 Thou ascendest like Horus of the D.t, chief of the imperishable stars; 1301 thou sittest upon thy firm throne at the head of thy canal of b.w; 1301 thou livest as the coleoptera (lives); thou endurest as the dd, eternally.

(674) 1994 To say: I have come to thee, I am thy son; I have come to thee, I am Horus; 1994 I give to thee thy mdw-staff before the spirits and thy nb.tsceptre before the imperishable stars. 1995 [I have found thee assembled], [thy (lit. his) face] like (that of) a jackal, thy (lit. his) seat like (that of) b.wt; 1995 she refreshes thy heart in thy body, in the house of her (lit. thy) father Anubis. 1996 Be pure and sit at the head of those greater than thou. 1996 Thou art seated on thy firm throne, on the throne of the First of the Westerners; 1996 thy tis.w, they are young. 1997. mnt.t salutes thee, like Isis; Hn.t acclaims thee like Nephthys. 1998 Thou standest at the head of the n.wt, of the double palace, like Min; 1998 thou standest at the head of Egyptians (km.tiw), like api; 1998 thou standest at Pdw-s, like Seker. 1999 Thou standest before the Rd-wr-lake. 1999 Thou hast thy 'b-sceptre, thy wire, thy fingernails; which are at hand (lit. "at thy fingers"); 1999 those who are before Thot are slain with the knife, coming from Set. 1999 Thou givest thine arm to the dead, to the spirits, who will take thine arm to the First of the Westerners.

(1) "I know not if thou art a moon or an idol, I know not what service to pay thee, Thou art not apart from me, yet, strange to say, I know not where I am, or where thou art. I know not wherefore thou art dragging me, Now embracing me, and now wounding me!" That wine of God is gained from that minstrel, Both of these have one and the same name in speech, Men's bodies are like pitchers with closed mouths; Beware, till you see what is inside them.

(5) The second, tinct of deeper hue than perse, Was of a calcined and uneven stone, Cracked all asunder lengthwise and across. The third, that uppermost rests massively, Porphyry seemed to me, as flaming red As blood that from a vein is spirting forth. Both of his feet was holding upon this The Angel of God, upon the threshold seated, Which seemed to me a stone of diamond. Along the three stairs upward with good will Did my Conductor draw me, saying: "Ask Humbly that he the fastening may undo." Devoutly at the holy feet I cast me, For mercy's sake besought that he would open, But first upon my breast three times I smote. Seven P's upon my forehead he described With the sword's point, and, "Take heed that thou wash These wounds, when thou shalt be within," he said. Ashes, or earth that dry is excavated, Of the same colour were with his attire, And from beneath it he drew forth two keys.

(6) If thou would'st see Him too through things that suffer death, both on the earth and in the deep, think of a man's being fashioned in the womb, my son, and strictly scrutinize the art of Him who fashions him, and learn who fashioneth this fair and godly image of the Man. Who [then] is He who traceth out the circles of the eyes; who He who boreth out the nostrils and the ears; who He who openeth [the portal of] the mouth; who He who doth stretch out and tie the nerves; who He who channels out the veins; who He who hardeneth the bones; who He who covereth the flesh with skin; who He who separates the fingers and the joints; who He who widens out a treading for the feet; who He who diggeth out the ducts; who He who spreadeth out the spleen; who he who shapeth heart like to a pyramid; who He who setteth ribs together; who He who wideneth the liver out; who He who maketh lungs like to a sponge; who He who maketh belly stretch so much; who he who doth make prominent the parts most honorable, so that they may be seen, while hiding out of sight those of least honor?

(467) 886 To say: O R` concerning these things which thou hast said (about it), R`, "O that I had a son," as thou wast king, R`, 886 "who is (spiritually) mighty, (physically) mighty, honoured, 886 with carrying arms, with wide stride." 887 Behold N., R`, N. is thy son; 887 N. is (spiritually) mighty, N. is honoured, N. is, (physically) mighty; 887 the arms of N. are carrying, the stride of N. is long. 888 N. shines in the East like R`; 888 he goes in the West like Khepri. 888 N. lives on that which Horus, lord of heaven, lives, by the command of Horus, lord of heaven. 888 N. purifies R`; 889 N. mounts upon his throne; 889 N. takes his helm (oar). 889 N. sails (rows) R`, as him who strides over the sky, 889 the d-star of gold, the adornment of the bull of light, 889 the bifork (brother) of gold, the companion of him who strides over the sky. 890 He flies, who flies; N. also flies away from you, O men. 890 He belongs not to the earth; N. belongs to heaven. 891 O thou his city-god, may the ka of N. be at thy fingers. 891 N. has flown as a cloud to heaven like the heron; 891 N. has kissed the sky like a falcon; 891 N. has reached the sky as the grasshopper, which makes the sun invisible. 892 N. has not reviled the king, 892 he has not respected Bastet. 892 There is not an 'ihb.w, which N. has done as chief of the sedanchairmen. 893 If it is the son of R`, for whom he will prepare his place, then will he prepare a place for N.; 893 if it is the son of R` who will be well, then N. will be well, 893 who will hunger, then N. will hunger.

(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.

(4) And even as birds uprisen from the shore, As in congratulation o'er their food, Make squadrons of themselves, now round, now long, So from within those lights the holy creatures Sang flying to and fro, and in their figures Made of themselves now D, now I, now L. First singing they to their own music moved; Then one becoming of these characters, A little while they rested and were silent. O divine Pegasea, thou who genius Dost glorious make, and render it long-lived, And this through thee the cities and the kingdoms, Illume me with thyself, that I may bring Their figures out as I have them conceived! Apparent be thy power in these brief verses! Themselves then they displayed in five times seven Vowels and consonants; and I observed The parts as they seemed spoken unto me. 'Diligite justitiam,' these were First verb and noun of all that was depicted; 'Qui judicatis terram' were the last. Thereafter in the M of the fifth word Remained they so arranged, that Jupiter Seemed to be silver there with gold inlaid.

(2) "'1. Lord, give ear unto my supplication and let my voice reach unto thee. "'2. Turn not away thy face from me; incline thine ear unto me in the day when I am oppressed; quickly give ear to me on the day when I shall cry unto thee. "'3. For my days are vanished as smoke and my bones are parched as stone. "'4. I am scorched as the grass, and my heart is dried up; for I have forgotten to eat my bread. "'5. From the voice of my groaning my bones cleaved to my flesh. "'6. I am become as a pelican in the desert; I am become as a screech-owl in the house. "'7. I have passed the night watching; I am become as a sparrow alone on the roof. "'8. My enemies have reviled me all the day long, and they who honour me, have injured me. "'9. For I have eaten ashes instead of my bread and mixed my drink with tears, "'10. Because of thy wrath and thy rage; for thou hast lifted me up and cast me down. "'11. My days have declined as a shadow, and I am dried up as the grass, "'12. But thou, O Lord, thou endurest for ever, and thy remembrance unto the generation of generation[s]. "'13. Arise and have mercy upon Zion, for the time is come to have mercy upon her; the proper time is come. "'14. Thy servants have longed for her stones, and will take pity on her land. "'15. And the nations will have fear of the name of the Lord, and the kings of the earth have fear of thy sovereignty. "'16. For the Lord will build up Zion and reveal himself in his sovereignty. "17. He hath regarded the prayer of the humble and hath not despised their supplication. "'18. This shall be recorded for another generation, and the people who shall be created will praise the Lord. "'19. Because he hath looked down on his holy height; the Lord hath looked down from the heaven on the earth, "'20. To hear the sighing of those in chains, to loose the sons of those who are slain, "'21. To proclaim the name of the Lord in Zion and his praise in Jerusalem.' "This, my Lord, is the solution of the mystery of the repentance which Pistis Sophia hath uttered."

(1) Already on my Lady's face mine eyes Again were fastened, and with these my mind, And from all other purpose was withdrawn; And she smiled not; but "If I were to smile," She unto me began, "thou wouldst become Like Semele, when she was turned to ashes. Because my beauty, that along the stairs Of the eternal palace more enkindles, As thou hast seen, the farther we ascend, If it were tempered not, is so resplendent That all thy mortal power in its effulgence Would seem a leaflet that the thunder crushes. We are uplifted to the seventh splendour, That underneath the burning Lion's breast Now radiates downward mingled with his power. Fix in direction of thine eyes the mind, And make of them a mirror for the figure That in this mirror shall appear to thee." He who could know what was the pasturage My sight had in that blessed countenance, When I transferred me to another care, Would recognize how grateful was to me Obedience unto my celestial escort, By counterpoising one side with the other.

(535) 1280 To say by Isis and Nephthys: 1280 The .t-bird comes, the kite comes; they are Isis and Nephthys. 1280 They are come in search of their brother Osiris; 1280 (They are come) in search of their brother N. 1281 Thou who art (here), thou who art (there), weep for thy brother; Isis, weep for thy brother; Nephthys, weep for thy brother. 1281 Isis sits, her hands upon her head; 1282 Nephthys has indeed seized the tip of (her) two breasts because of her brother, N.; 1282 Anubis being on his belly; Osiris being wounded; Anubis being before the fist (?). 1283 Thy putrefaction, N., is not; thy sweat, N., is not; 12 83 thy outflowing, N., is not; thy dust, N., is not. 1284 .ti son of .ti (is) at Mnii, coming as Mn.ti, 1284 to divide in three these your four days and your eight nights. 1285 The stars follow thy beloved b.wt, 1285 who is chief of thy nm (attendants); thou art chief of those who are chief of the nm.w (attendants); thou hast made nm the nm.w. 1285 Loose Horus from his bonds, that he may punish the Followers of Set; 1286 that he may seize them; that he may remove their heads; that he may take off their legs. 1286 Cut thou them up, take thou out their hearts; 1286 drink thou of their blood; 1287 count their hearts, in this thy name of "Anubis counter of hearts." 1287 Thy two eyes have been given to thee as thy two uraeusserpents, 1287 for thou art like Wepwawet on his standard, Anubis who presides in s-ntr. 1288 O N., the houses of the great who are in Heliopolis make thee "first"; 1288 the spirits and even the imperishable stars fear thee. 1288 The dead fall on their face before thee; the blessed dead(?) care for thee. 1289 "Eldest (son), 'Im is for N.," say the Souls of Heliopolis, 1289 who furnish thee with life and satisfaction. 1289 He lives with the living as Seker lives with the living; 1289 he lives with the living as N. lives with the living. 1290 O N., come, live thy life there, in thy name, in thy time, 1290 in these years, which are to be peaceful, according to (?) thy wish.

(2) In connection herewith there is this verse: — There is a cup with its mouth below and its bottom up. In it is placed every foim of glory. On its rim sit seven seers. Voice as an eighth is united with prayer (brahman}} ' There is a cup having its mouth below and its bottom up J — this is the head, for that is a cup having its mouth below and its bottom up. £ In it is placed every form of glory ' — breaths, verily, are the c every form of glory ' placed in it; thus he says breaths (prdna). ' On its rim sit seven seers' — verily, the breaths are the seers. Thus he says breaths. ' Voice as an eighth is united with prayer — for voice as an eighth is united with prayer,

(335) 546 To say: How beautiful is, the sight of N., adorned with the horns of R`, 546 his apron on him like Hathor, his feather like the feather of a falcon, 546 when (or, as) he ascends to heaven among his brothers, the gods!

(224) 218 To say four times: An offering to him in all his dignities, in all his places. 218 May Geb give an offering in all thy dignities, in all thy places. Utterance 224. 218 To say: Awake, N. Turn around, N. 218 Thou hast come that thou mayest command in the regions of Horus; 218 thou hast come that thou mayest command in the regions of Set; 218 thou hast come that thou mayest command in the regions of Osiris. 219 May the king make an offering: "in all thy dignities". 219 Thy garment is a b-loin-cloth; thy garment is a hdd-loincloth; 219 thou goest in sandals; thou slaughterest an ox; 220 thou goest in the wd-'n-boat, in all thy dignities, in all thy places. 220 Thy nb.t-sceptre is at the head of the living, thy staff is at the head of the spirits, 220 like Anubis, First of the Westerners; like `nd.ti, First of the Eastern nomes. 221 How fortunate is thy condition! Thou art a spirit, O N., among thy brothers, the gods. 221 How changed it is! How changed it is! (So) protect thy children; beware of 221 thy border (limitation) which is in the earth. To say four times: Clothe thy body (and) come into their presence.

(1) Om! Verily, the dawn is the head of the sacrificial horse; the sun, his eye; the wind, his breath; universal fire (Agni VaisVanara), his open mouth. The year is the body (atman) of the sacrificial horse; the sky, his back; the atmo- sphere, his belly; the earth, the under part of his belly; the quarters, his flanks; the intermediate quarters, his ribs; the seasons, his limbs; the months and half-months, his joints; days and nights, his feet; the stars, his bones; the clouds, his flesh. Sand is the food in his stomach; rivers are his entrails. His liver and lungs are the mountains; plants and trees, his hair. The orient is his fore part; the Occident, his hind part. When he yawns, then it lightens. When he shakes himself, then it thunders. When he urinates, then it rains. Voice, indeed, is his voice.

(11) Beholding Thy great form, O Mighty Lord, with myriads of mouths and eyes, with myriads of arms and thighs and feet, with myriads of bellies, and with myriads of terrible tusks— the worlds are affrighted, and so am I.

(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.

(246) 252 See, how N. stands there among (you), the two horns on him (like) two wild-bulls, 252 for thou art the black ram, son of a black sheep. 252 born of a white sheep, nursed by four sheep. 253 The blue-eyed Horus comes against you; guard yourselves against the red-eyed Horus, 253 furious in wrath, whose might no one withstands. 253 His messengers go; his runner hastens. 253 They announce to him who lifts up his arm in the East 254 that this One passes in thee of whom Dwn-`n.wi said: "He shall command my (?) fathers, the gods." 254 The gods are silent before thee; the Ennead lay their hands upon their mouth, 254 before this One in thee (of whom) Dwn-`n.wi said: "He shall command my (?) fathers, the gods." 255 Stand at the doorway of the horizon; open the double doors of b.w, 255 that thou mayest stand at their (the gods') head, as Geb at the head of his Ennead-- 255 they (the gods) enter, they are smitten with fear; they depart, they lift up their head. 256 They see thee like Min, chief of the two 'itr.t-palaces. 256 He stands, he stands behind thee, thy brother stands behind thee, thy relative (n) stands behind thee. 256 Thou perishest not; thou art not destroyed. 256 Thy name remains among men; thy name has its being among the gods.

(508) 1107 To say: He ascends, who ascends; N. ascends. 1107 Let the lady of Buto rejoice; let the heart of her who dwells in el-K�b be glad 1107 the day that N. ascends there in the place of (or, as representative of) R`. 1108 N. has trodden down for himself thy splendour, 1108 as stairs under his feet, 1108 that N. may ascend thereon to his mother, the living uraeus which is on the head of R`. 1109 Her heart has pity for him; she gives her breast to him, that he may suck it. 1109 "My son," says she, "take to thee my breast, that thou mayest suck it," says she, 1109 "since thou comest not on every one of thy days." 1110 Heaven speaks, the earth quakes; the gods, of Heliopolis shudder 1110 at the voice of the wdn.t-offering (made) before N. 1111 His mother has nourished him-she of Bubastis; 1111 she who dwells in el-K�b has reared him; 1111 she who dwells in Buto has given him her arm. 1112 Behold, he is come; behold, he is come; 1112 behold, N. is come, for life and joy, 1112 and he makes his repast on figs 1112 and on wine which is in the divine vineyard. 1113 The chef who is beside him, he prepares a repast of it for him. 1113 N. runs; his herdsman runs; 1113 his sweetness is the sweetness of Horus; his fragrance is the fragrance of Horus. 1114 To heaven, to heaven, together with the gods of the house of the lion and the falcon; 1114 to heaven, together with the gods of the house of the lion and the falcon, 1114 those at my side accompanying me! 1115 So says Geb, as he seizes N. by his arm, 1115 and as, he guides him through the portals of heaven. 1115 The god is on his throne; it is well that the god is on his throne. 1116 Satis has washed him 1116 with her four bt-pitchers from Elephantin�. 1116 Ho, whence, pray, art thou come, my son, O king? 1116 He is come to the Ennead, to heaven, that he may eat of its bread. 1117 Ho, whence, pray, art thou come, my son, O king? 1117 He is come to the Ennead, to the earth, that he may eat of its bread. 1117 Ho, whence, pray, art thou come, my son, O king? 1117 He is come to the dnddndr-boat. 1118 Ho, whence, pray, art thou come, my son, O king? 1118 He is come to these his two mothers, the two vultures, 1118 They of the long hair and hanging breasts, 1118 who are on the hill of . 1119 They draw their breasts over the mouth of N., 1119 but they do not wean him for ever.

(223) 214 To say: Awake. Turn around. O! O! 214 O N., up, be seated before a thousand. loaves, a thousand mugs of beer; 214 the roast, thy double-rib piece (comes) from the slaughteringbench, the rt-bread from the broad-hall (w.t). 25 As a god is provided with divine offerings, so N. is provided with his bread. 215 Thou art come to thy ba, Osiris, a ba among the spirits, mighty in his domains, 215 protected by the Ennead in the house of the prince. 216 O N., betake thyself to me, approach thyself to me, 216 be not far from the tomb, be not separated from me. 216 I have given thee the eye of Horus; I have reckoned it to thee. O may it be pleasing to thee, with thee. 217 O N., up, receive thy bread from (my) hand. 217 To say four times: O N., I will be to thee a door-keeper. Heading and postscript to
