(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.

(1) Isis has arrived; she hovers over the dwellings, and she searches all the hidden abodes of Horus when he comes out of the Northern marshes, knocking down him whose face is evil

(8) In the same opinion also concurs Neanthes of Cyzicum, who writes that the Macedonian priests invoke Bedu, which they interpret to mean the air, to be propitious to them and to their children. And Zaps some have ignorantly taken for fire (from zesin,boiling); for so the sea is called, as Euphorion, in his reply to Theoridas: "And Zaps, destroyer of ships, wrecked it on the rocks."

(477) 956 To say: The sky shakes, the earth quakes. 956 Horus comes; Thot appears. They raise Osiris from on his side; 956 they cause him to stand (as chief) among the Two Enneads. 957 Remember, Set, put in thy heart 957 this word which Geb spoke, this threat which the gods made against thee 957 in the house of the prince, in Heliopolis, because thou didst strike Osiris to the ground, 958 as thou, Set, didst say: "I have not done this against him," 958 that thou mayest prevail thereby, having been acquitted, that thou mayest prevail in spite of Horus. 959 As thou, Set, didst say: "It is he who defied me" 959 --and so arose his name of "'Ik-w-t"; 959 as thou, Set, didst say: "It is he who came too near to me" 959 --and so arose his name of "" 959 he with outstretched leg, with long stride, who inhabits the land of Upper Egypt. 960 Raise thyself up, Osiris; Set raised himself up, 960 after he had heard the threat of the gods, who spoke concerning the father of the god. 960 Isis has thine arm, Osiris; Nephthys has thy hand; thou goest between them. 961 Heaven is given to thee, earth is given to thee, the Marsh of Reeds, 961 the Horite regions, the Setite regions, 961 the cities are given to thee, the nomes are united for thee, saith Atum. 961 It is Geb who has spoken about it. 962 Whet thy knife, Thot, the sharp, the cutting, 962 which removes heads, which cuts out hearts. 963 It shall remove the heads, it shall cut the hearts 963 of those who would place themselves in the way of N., when he goes to thee, Osiris; 963 of those who would restrain N., when he goes to thee, Osiris. 963 Give him life and joy. 964 N. comes to thee, lord of heaven; N. comes to thee, Osiris, 964 that N. may wipe thy face, that he may clothe thee with the clothes of a god, 964 serving as priest to thee in the Ddi.t (necropolis). 965 It is Sothis, thy daughter, who loves thee, 965 who secures thy livelihood (or, makes thy yearly offerings), in this her name of "Year", 965 who conducts N., when N. comes to thee. 966 N. comes to thee, lord of heaven; N. comes to thee, Osiris, 966 that N. may wipe thy face, that N. may clothe thee with the clothes of a god, 966 while N. serves as a priest to thee in the 'Idi, 966 that he may eat a limb of thine enemy, 966 that he may cut it in pieces for Osiris, so that he may make him as he who is at the head of the butchers. 967 N. comes to thee, lord of heaven; N. comes to thee, Osiris, 967 that N. may wipe thy face, that N. may clothe thee with the clothes of a god, 967 that N. may do for thee that which Geb commanded that he should do for thee, 967 that he fasten thine arm on the 'nh-sceptre, that he lift up thine arm on the w-sceptre. 968 N. comes to thee, lord of heaven; N. comes to thee, Osiris, 968 that N. may wipe thy face, that N. may clothe thee with the clothes of a god, 968 while N. serves as priest to thee. 969 It is Horus thy son, whom thou hast conceived; he has not put N. over the dead, 969 he puts him among the gods, for he is divine. 970 Their water is the water of N., their bread is the bread of N., 970 their purification is the purification of N. 970 What Horus has done for Osiris, he has done for N.

(4) Hail, Osiris, son of Nut, lord of horns, wearing the high atef crown, to whom the urer diadem and the hik sceptre has been given in the presence of the cycle of the gods. Tum has raised the fear of his might in the hearts of mankind, of the gods, the Glorified and the dead; the royal power has been given him in Heliopolis; he is the great forms in Tattu, the lord of fear in his two abodes, the very brave one in Restau, he whose memory is pleasant in the palace, the very brilliant in Abydos. It has been given him to triumph before the whole cycle of the gods; he is mighty more than the great powers; the fear of him is over the whole earth

(6) Thy son Horus avenges thee, he destroys all that is wrong in thee; he has fastened to thee thy flesh, he has set thy limbs and joined thy bones; he has brought thee.... Arise, Osiris, thy hands have been given thee, stand up living for ever

(2) Horus exalteth his father Osiris in every place; associating Isis the Great with her sister Nephthys

(3) Shadows borne onward by the aforesaid stress. Whereupon said I: "Master, who are those People, whom the black air so castigates?" "The first of those, of whom intelligence Thou fain wouldst have," then said he unto me, "The empress was of many languages. To sensual vices she was so abandoned, That lustful she made licit in her law, To remove the blame to which she had been led. She is Semiramis, of whom we read That she succeeded Ninus, and was his spouse; She held the land which now the Sultan rules. The next is she who killed herself for love, And broke faith with the ashes of Sichaeus; Then Cleopatra the voluptuous." Helen I saw, for whom so many ruthless Seasons revolved; and saw the great Achilles, Who at the last hour combated with Love. Paris I saw, Tristan; and more than a thousand Shades did he name and point out with his finger, Whom Love had separated from our life. After that I had listened to my Teacher, Naming the dames of eld and cavaliers, Pity prevailed, and I was nigh bewildered.

(576) 1500 To say: Osiris was placed upon his side by his brother Set; 1500 he who is in Ndi.t stirs; his head is raised up by R`; 1500 his abomination is to sleep; he hates to be tired; 1501 N. rots not; he stinks not; 1501 N. is not bound (bewitched) by your wrath, O gods. 1502 Awake thou in peace; 1502 Osiris awakes in peace; he who is in Ndi.t awakes in peace. 1503 His head is lifted up by R`; his odour is [as] that of the 'I.twt.t-serpent. 1503 The head of N. also is lifted up by R`; the odour of N. is as that of 'I.t-wt.t-serpent. 1504 He rots not; he stinks not, 1504 N. is not bound (bewitched) by your wrath, O gods. 1505 N. is thy seed, Osiris, the pointed, 1505 in his name of "Horus in the great green"; "Horus chief of spirits." 1506 N. rots not; he stinks not; 1506 he is not bound (bewitched) by your wrath, O gods. 1507 N. goes forth from his house, adorned like Horus, bedecked like Thot; 1507 the mother of N. is thy Heliopolitan, O god; the father of N. is a Heliopolitan; 1507 N. himself is thy Heliopolitan, O god. 1508 N. is conceived by R`; he is born of R`. 1508 N. is thy seed, O R`, the pointed, 1508 in his name of "Horus, chief of spirits, star which ferries over the "great green." 1509 N. rots not; he stinks not; 1509 he is not bound (bewitched) by your wrath, O gods. 1510 N. is one of those four gods, born of Geb, 1510 who travelled over the South, who travelled over the land of [the North], 1510 who leaned upon their dm-sceptres, 1511 anointed with the best ointment, clothed in [purple], 1511 living on figs, drinking wine. 1512 a. N. anoints himself with that with which you anoint yourselves; 1512 N. clothes himself with that with which you clothe yourselves; 1512 N. lives on that on which you live; 1512 N. drinks that of which you [drink]. 1513 N. is safe with you, he lives on that on which you live. 1513 May you give him of those possessions which your father Geb gave you, 1513 (so that) because of which none of you may hunger, because of which none of you may rot. 1514 Lay hold of the arm of N. for life before the sweet-smelling ones, 1514 unite the bones of N., assemble his limbs, 1514 that N. may sit upon his throne. 1515 He rots not; he stinks not; 1515 N. is not bound (bewitched) by your wrath, O gods. 1516 N. is come to thee, mother of N.; he is come to Nut. 150 Make the sky mount for N.; place the stars upside down for him. 1516 Let his odour be like the odour of thy son, who is come forth from thee; 1516 let the odour of N. be like that of Osiris, thy son, who is come forth from thee. 1517 Nun, lift up the arm of N. towards the sky, that he may support himself (on) the earth which he has given to thee, 151 7 that he may ascend, that he may rise to the sky, 1517 that he may do service of a courtier to R`. 1518 Horus chief of the spirits, who is before the sweet-smelling ones, 1518 awake thou in peace, as R` awakes, in peace; 1518 awake in peace, as Mdi awakes in peace. 1519. Let him put the writing of N. in his register before the sweetsmelling ones. 37. THE RESURRECTION OF OSIRIS WITH WHOM THE GODS ARE SATISFIED,

(6) Rise up, then, Osiris: I have stricken down for thee thine enemies, I have delivered thee from them

(8) The Osiris N is Horus: his mother Isis bringeth him forth, and Nephthys nurseth him, as they did to Horus, who repelleth the dark ones of Sutu: who, when they see the Crown fixed upon his brow, fall upon their faces

(2) Truly I wept, leaning upon a peak Of the hard crag, so that my Escort said To me: "Art thou, too, of the other fools? Here pity lives when it is wholly dead; Who is a greater reprobate than he Who feels compassion at the doom divine? Lift up, lift up thy head, and see for whom Opened the earth before the Thebans' eyes; Wherefore they all cried: 'Whither rushest thou, Amphiaraus? Why dost leave the war?' And downward ceased he not to fall amain As far as Minos, who lays hold on all. See, he has made a bosom of his shoulders! Because he wished to see too far before him Behind he looks, and backward goes his way: Behold Tiresias, who his semblance changed, When from a male a female he became, His members being all of them transformed; And afterwards was forced to strike once more The two entangled serpents with his rod, Ere he could have again his manly plumes. That Aruns is, who backs the other's belly, Who in the hills of Luni, there where grubs The Carrarese who houses underneath,

(14) 5. Oh Thoth, who makest Osiris triumphant over his adversaries, let N be made triumphant over his adversaries, even as thou makest Osiris triumphant over his adversaries, before the Great Circle of gods of the Two Regions [30] of Rechit, on that Night when Isis lay watching in tears over her brother Osiris

(86) And they began, moreover, to devour those oxen; and behold all the children of the earth began to tremble and quake before them and to flee from them.

(10) Ha, Osiris! I am come to thee that I may set thine adversaries beneath thee in every place, and that thou mayest be triumphant in presence of all the gods who are around thee

(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.

(6) O miserable me! how I did shudder When he seized on me, saying: 'Peradventure Thou didst not think that I was a logician!' He bore me unto Minos, who entwined Eight times his tail about his stubborn back, And after he had bitten it in great rage, Said: 'Of the thievish fire a culprit this;' Wherefore, here where thou seest, am I lost, And vested thus in going I bemoan me." When it had thus completed its recital, The flame departed uttering lamentations, Writhing and flapping its sharp-pointed horn. Onward we passed, both I and my Conductor, Up o'er the crag above another arch, Which the moat covers, where is paid the fee By those who, sowing discord, win their burden.

(3) Râ flingeth down thy words; thy face is twisted round by the gods; thy whole heart is torn out by the Lynx goddess; chains are flung upon thee by the Scorpion goddess; and slaughter is dealt upon thee by Maāt

(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! For that the terrene and the cosmic Gods are easily enraged, in that they are created and composed of the two natures.

(3) —O thou soul of souls, who art not unwilling to rise when thou restest in thy body which dwelleth in Senhakarokana! Come to Osiris N. , deliver him from the Powers of the god whose face is terrible, who takes possession of the heart, and takes hold of the limbs; a flame rushes out of their mouths, so that they consume the souls
