To be said (2)by Osiris N.: (4)O thou first abode of the west, wherein one lives on pastry and garden truck, take off (8)your turban(s at my) approach just as (at that of) the first-born among you. May he unite my bones; may he make fast my members. (11)Fetch me Ihy, the lord of hearts, that he may assemble (my) bones and make fast the coil of Atum. Make thou fast the head (14)of Neheb-ka, that Osiris N. may fill the (17)scales, that thou mayest rule with the Gods, O living one triumphant--variant: the altar(s) of (thy) temples with the Gods. Min ?is the fashioner of? the spirit (20)of Osiris N. (22)Second abode. To be said by Osiris N.: (25)O great of possessions in that field of rushes, whose wall is of metal, the height (28)of whose barley is 7 cubits, (its) ears 2 cubits, its stalks 3 cubits. It is a blessed one 7 (cubits) tall (31)who reaps it alongside Harakhte. I know the gate (of) the Field{s} of Rushes through which Re comes forth in the east of (34)the Sky, south of which is the pool of the khar{em}-geese and north of which is the water of the ra-geese, the place through which Re travels by sailing (or) paddling. (37)I am in charge of announcing in the god's ship; I am a tireless paddler in the bark of Re. I know that sycamore of (40)turquoise from the midst of which Re comes forth, which grows on the (uplifted) of Shu at the east gate of the Sky, through which Re comes forth. I know (43)that Field of Rushes of Re's, the height of whose wheat is 7 cubits, (its) ears 3 cubits, its stalks 2 cubits. (44)It is a blessed one of 9 cubits who reaps it alongside the eastern Souls. (cxlii) Third abode. To be said by Osiris N.: (4)O thou abode of the blessed, on which none sails, while indeed the blessed one becomes silent therein, (8)(her) flame being glowing fire; (O) thou abode of the blessed. (11)With your face(s) down(cast), purify the abode. Behold, like what ye were ordered to do for me is (14)this, says Osiris N. He says: I am (17)master of the red crown (that is on) the pate of the blessed one who keeps all mankind alive by the scorching breath of his mouth (20)and rescues Re from Apophis, (so that) he stays alive forever. (22)Fourth abode. To be said by Osiris N.: (25)O thou mysterious abode, O yon very lofty mountain in the god's domain, (28)over which the Sky hovers, whose length is 300 hundred-cubits, its breadth 30 hundred-cubits. (31)That snake on it, his Name is Hurler of the Two Knives. He is 70 cubits long as he hastens, and he lives by beheading (34)the blessed and the dead in the god's domain. (35)I stand against thee. True is my course while the bark looks--variant: (only) one looks--toward thee. I am the (re)united one; I am (38)the male. Veil thy head. If I stay sound, (thou) stayest sound, and vice versa. I am the great of magic; (39)Re gives me my eyes, that I may benefit by them. What does that mean? (O) goer on his belly, (40)thou attainest thy strength--variant: (thy) mountain. Behold, I am indeed gone, thy strength being with me. (41)It is I who have taken over strength. I have come to dispose of the Earth-God, that I may set (42)in the evening, that I may circle the Sky with thee in the valley. Command thy food on earth (43)before the great God in Heliopolis--variant: the god's domain. (cxliii) Fifth abode. To be said by Osiris N.: (4)O thou fifth abode of the blessed, through which none can pass, the blessed in whom are (7)7 cubits (broad) in their buttocks and live on the shadows of the weary; (9)O thou abode of the blessed. O blessed ones among them, open your way that I may pass (12)through you and journey to the (beautiful) west. (13)This is what has been decreed for me by Osiris and the blessed one{s}, lord (of the blessed), that Osiris (N.) may live by his magic power. I am celebrant of the new-moon feast and witness (16)of the 15th-day feast. The eye of Horus circles for me under my guidance in the retinue of Thoth. No (18)God shall set my face--variant: (There is no god) who directs his face--against me. As for every dead man or woman who swallows {with} his (or her) spell against me and (any) enemy male or female who comes (21)against me this day, he (or she) shall fall to the place of execution. (22)Sixth abode. To be said by Osiris N.: (24)O thou underworld mysterious to the Gods, hidden (from) the blessed, difficult (of access to) the dead, the God in (27)whom bears the Name Feller of Fish, hail to thee, thou mysterious underworld the Gods in whom I have come to see. Show ye (30)your face(s), take ye off for me your turban(s) at my approach in peace. Behold, I have come that (I) may behold your form(s). (33)I have come to prepare your thin cakes. The Feller of Fish shall not prevail over me. The gods of combat shall not (36)pursue (me); the gods of combat shall not pursue (me). I shall live on offerings with you. (cxliv) Seventh abode. To be said by Osiris N.: (3)O yon As(s-region), (too) distant to be seen, the scorching breath of fire is whose magic power--variant: (is among whose) blessed ones, the snake (6)in whom, named Re(re)k, with a backbone 7 cubits long, is one who lives on the blessed and destroys (9)their magic power. Back, Re(re)k of Ass, who bites with the mouth (of) the feller of his fish and blinds--(12)variant: floods--with his eyes. Shattered are thy teeth, weak becomes thy venom, because of it. Thou shalt not come (15)into me; thy venom shall not penetrate me. Fall, lie on thy ?hay?, thy fever(ed skin in) this ground, having arrived--(18)variant: thy lips--in the (hole). (He who is) on his mountain--variant: his chamber--falls at the command forever--variant: (falls while) harming him (21)who comes--and vice versa, for he is protected. His head is cut off by the lion. (23)Eighth abode. To be said by Osiris N.: (26)O thou great, vast (abode called) The Offering Descends, flood (28)to the water in whom none has access because of the greatness of fear of her, (30)because of the greatness of her dignity, and because of the loudness of her cry. The lofty God (32)in her is (likewise) named The Offering Descends. He is one who is chary of his love, unapproachable. I am (35)that new-bird which is over the district of She Keeps Silence. I have brought the things of the earth to Atum. (O) ye who go head downward, (38)(O) Crew, in terror of thee--variant: of me--are they that are over Letopolis; I have inspired respect (for me) in the possessors (41)of offerings. None can carry me off to the (god's) slaughtering-block; my Soul shall not be destroyed out of (me) for their sake. I am ruler of the northern Horizon, (44)for I know the great God who is therein. (cxlv) Ninth abode. To be said by Osiris N.: (3)O thou secret ?hollow? of the Gods, whose Name the blessed fear to know, (6)from whom he that enters comes not forth. That great God is there of whom the Gods--variant: the blessed--are afraid because of the terror he inspires, of whom the blessed--(9)variant: the dead--are afraid because of his roarings. Her opening is of fire, and her air destroys the nose. He (the god) made it (the fire) against those in (his) train (12)for the sake of the blessed therein, not letting them breathe the air therein except for that great, august God who is in (15)his egg. He made it against all those who were with him, for he had no desire to be approached except on the day of the great ceremonies. Hail to thee, thou (18)august God in his egg. I have come unto thee; I am in thy retinue. I have gone forth unto ?the hollow?. Open for me her double doors that (I) may breathe (21)the air in her, that I may live on her offerings, that I may become a blessed one in her. (23)Tenth abode. To be said by Osiris N.: (25)O thou abode of the presenters (of offerings), who seizest the blessed one by force and prevailest over the shadow. Eaters of (28)(fresh (food))--variant: writing--who (disdain) carrion because of seeing with their eyes that there is no prevailing (30)over their shadows, weary ones--a papyrus-amulet of fayence ?having been left by them to the earth?--who are in their abode, put yourselves on your bellie(s), (33)and may your foul odor become pleasant until ye pass. No (part) of my blessed one shall be seized; none shall prevail over my shadow. I am a divine falcon. May (36)myrrh be brought to me; may burnt incense be offered (to me). (37)Remove for me the burden, my burial being earthward, with Isis and Nephthys around me. (39)Clear ye for me the path of yon Naw-snake, (for) I am the bull of Nut, Neheb-ka. (41)I have come unto you, ye Gods, that ye may rescue me. Give ye (me) magic power forever. (cxlvi) Eleventh abode. To be said by Osiris N.: (3)O thou abode that is in the god's domain--that is the body that prevails over the blessed--(5)from whom he that enters comes not forth, (so great is the fear of revealing what is in her,) so great is her dignity. (6)The Gods see in her (by (his) purification), the dead see in her by the terror he inspires, except for the Gods (8)who exist in her forever, hidden from the blessed. (9)O thou (Adew)(-abode) in the god's domain, may(est thou) let me pass, (for) I am that eye of Horus, the Great of Magic, (11)the keen one who escaped from Seth. (12)My feet are mine forever, while (I) appear and am powerful through that eye that lifted up (my) heart after faintness. I become blessed in the sky and powerful (15)in the earth. I have flown as a falcon; (16)I have honked as a semen-goose. It has been granted (me) to tread--variant: to alight--(17)on that field of Hetep(et), I being gone down to the (meadows) of the Gods. I stand on (19)it, I sit on it, (I) appear as the God who is in it. I have opened (the gate) of the righteous. I have eaten (of) (21)food in the fields of Hetep(et), (for) I go down upon the meadows of the Star(s) That Set. (I have) opened (23)the way of truth, opened (it) that I may cross the sky-waters. I have set up a ladder to the Sky among the Gods. I am (25)one of them. I speak as a semen-goose ?until? (26)the Gods hear my cry, repeated to Sothis. (27)Twelfth abode. To be said by Osiris N.: (29)O thou abode of the hour, abode of him who is in Rosetau, (31)whose scorching breath is fire, and the Gods ascend not to her nor do the blessed unite with her, and (33)the uraei upon her are (each) named Destroyer of Souls. O thou abode of the hour, (35)where (I am) the falcon that is in her, I am (36)the greatest of the blessed; I am with the Imperishable Stars, who are imperishable ?because of her?. (I shall not perish;) (38)my name shall not perish. O odors of the Gods who are in the abode of the hour, (40)I shall be with you, I shall live with you. Love ye me more than your (other) Gods, (for I shall be with you forever.) (cxlvii) Thirteenth abode. To be said by Osiris N.: (3)O thou abode (of) water, to whom the blessed can gain no access, since her water is fire (5)and her surf is flame and her scorching breath is burning fire, that none may drink (7)her water, (so that) there is no quenching of the thirst of them who are in her because so greatly do the blessed fear her and so great is (9)her dignity. The Gods, the blessed, and the dead see her water from afar. There is no quenching of their thirst, (11)no contentment of their heart(s), that there may be no approaching of her. The river is (as) full (of) reeds as (are) (13)the waters with the efflux that came forth from Osiris. May I gain access to the water, may I have abundance of water, like (15)that God (who is in) the abode of water. (He) is her guardian, lest the Gods drink her water while (17)they are far away from the blessed. Hail to thee, thou God who art in the abode of water. I have come (19)unto thee. Mayest thou grant that I gain access to the water and drink of the water as thou didst for the God--variant: like (21)thyself. I am that great God for whom the inundation comes, for whom herbage sprouts, and (23)for whom all plants grow. (Thou who) give(st) offerings to the Gods, (24)thou who camest forth from him, mayest thou be gracious to me (and) grant that inundations come to me (25)and that I gain access to the fields of herbage, (for) (26)I am thy (son) of (thy) body forever. (27)Fourteenth abode. To be said by Osiris N.: (29)O thou abode of Kheraha, who keepest the Inundation away from (Busiris) but causest (31)that the Inundation come, measured by the bushel, ?until he has been led? to every mouth that eats, who givest divine offerings (to) the Gods (33)and mortuary offerings to the blessed, (thou) in whom (is) this snake from the twin springs of Elephantine at the mouth (of) the cave (35)of the inundation. He has come with the water and stops at this district of Kheraha at the Council (37)that is over the waters. May (I) eat grain, offerings, and food. Lift thyself up, great (39)and perfect, God who is in Kheraha. Mayest thou satisfy me and provide me with the efflux that came forth from Osiris (41)in the presence of him who has fallen therein. (cxlviii) (BD 150)[This is a series of scenes with legends; see notes.] Abode ?(called) The Measurers Are Festive?, Field{s} of Rushes, Pool in front of the Sky, The ?green? abode, (2)Abode of eternity, Judgment(-place) of the Gods, Abode of Heh, Abode of Him Who Is in Charge of Tribute, (3)Abode of ?the Hole-Dweller?, Underworld, Abode of the Blessed One, Abode of the Exalted One, (4)Abode of ?the Hole-Dweller?, Abode of the deep, The great pool, Abode of Ded, Abode of the Offering-Bearers, Abode of the river. (cxlix) (c2)(BD 151)To be said by Anubis, presider over the hall of the god, who gives justification: I have laid my hands on thee, (O) Osiris N. (c1)To be said by Isis: (I come) as the breeze; I have come to be thy magical protection. I give breath to thy nose, (even) the north wind that came forth from Atum, (O) Osiris N. (c3)To be said by Nephthys: Awake thou, (O) Osiris N. (d1)To be said (by the flame): (It is I) who smite the sand that would choke the hidden one and repel (2)him who would repel him with mouth of flame from the great one of the Horizon. Come (3)to me, (O) road, for I am the magical protection of Osiris N. (b1)Osiris N., (2)(thou art vigilant. Osiris who is on his mountain, (3)thy power is broken; (I have) broken thy power. I am thy magical protection, (O) Osiris (N.). (4)(Mayest thou) keep Re away from Osiris N. (cl) (BD 152)Spell for building the house that is in the earth. (1)To be said by Osiris N.: (3)Geb rejoices when Osiris N. ?overcomes? all his badness. Men, children, (7)and their (fathers), give praise to (...) because they see Shu giving to thee the noxious one. (9)Anubis calls upon Osiris N. (to) build his house that is in (12)the earth, with its foundation in Heliopolis and its circumference in Kheraha, (14)while the presider over Letopolis is the recorder of its renovation. (16)Men bring (offerings to) it; (bearers) present (offerings) to it. Osiris has said (to the gods) who are (18)in his retinue: ''Go, and (ye) shall supervise the building of that house of (20)that equipped blessed one. He has come today new among you. May ye inspire fear of him. (22)Give him praise, the (most) favored one of you. Ye are seeing my doing, say I.'' (24)Utterance by that great God: ''He has come today (new) among you,'' says Osiris. Brought (26)to him are small cattle by the south wind, brought to him are northern barley and wheat which the earth brings to fruition, (28)announced by day by the mouth of Osiris who has passed away. (29)He has turned over (from) his left (side); he (puts) himself on his right (side). (30)When men and Gods and the blessed and the dead look upon me, they ?spend (their time)? in praise (32)?and in song? yonder. To be said by Osiris N.: (34)(O) great one who art far away, eldest child of the household, (thou art) the foremost. May Osiris N. drink (38)the water of Tefnut. Utterance by the sycamore, lady of offerings, to Osiris: (40)''I have come to bring thee my bread.'' Utterance: O thou sycamore of Nut (42)which refreshes the presider over the westerners and extends (its) arms to its members, behold, he is warm. (44)Mayest thou give cool water to Osiris N. (46)(while he sits) under (thy) branches, which give the north wind to the Weary-hearted One in (48)that seat forever. (cli) (BD 153)Spell for escaping from the net. (1)To be said by Osiris N.: O (3)(lookout) (and) ye mighty ones, both children and (their) fathers--variant: their Father, net-fishermen (5)who ?hover? in the midst of the waters, ye shall not catch me (nor) the common herd (in) that net of yours. Loose ye me, ?that (I) may go from? the earth (with) them, (since) (9)their reversionary offerings (go) to the Sky, their weight to the earth. (I have) escaped from (its) horn; Osiris N. (has escaped from) (12)its cords. I have escaped from Busiris; Osiris N. (has escaped) (14)from it. Falcon ?...against me? is my name. Make ye ?crosspieces given from? the fisher ((and) fowler) with hidden (16)(fingers). Variant: ''I have made a flight, (O) men, from his fisher,'' says he, the Hidden One. I know the one sound of arm who is ?in (18)my fingers?; the Great One ?who has perished? (is he). (Variant: I know) the commander who is in (19)(Upper Egypt; the Great One), the Perished One (is he). As for the wood which is there, it is the hand (20)of Isis. The blade which is therein (is) that knife of Osiris--variant: The name of their fisherman is (22)he who is in charge of his nak--wherewith (the intestines) of Horus were cut. I know the name of (the float) with (24)(its) sinkers (--variant: the name(s) of) the flaming leg (and) weights; kneecap and knees of Ruty (are they). I (26)know the cord belonging to it ?(and) the fishermen of? him who is in charge of it; it is a sinew of Atum. I (28)know the name of the fishermen in charge of it; they are the (Earth-Gods), ancestors of its Achby-God. (30)Its peg (is) the ring (of) Shezmew. I know the name of your arms--for their arms are open to him. They are the arm(s (32)of) the great God who heard cases in Heliopolis on that night of the 15th-day feast. To be said over an image (34)of this blessed one put into this Bark, after thou hast made the Night Bark at its right side and the Day Bark at its left side.

This (my) corpse shall not pass away, for I am complete, (4)complete, like my Father Osiris-Khepri. He is of like nature, one (5)whose corpse passes not away. Come thou, (for my) breath surpasses thine, Lord of Breath, (6)exalted above his peers. May (I) be more enduring than thou; mayest thou fashion me as possessor of a burial. (7)Mayest thou let me go forth to eternity as thou didst together with thy Father (8)Atum--variant: (as) did thy Father Atum. His corpse has not passed away; he especially is one (9)who perishes not. I have not done what thou hatest. May thy Spirit, then, love (me) (10)without its rebuffing me. Mayest thou take me in thy company, that (I) decay not (11)after the manner of what thou hast allotted to every God and every Goddess, all quadrupeds, and (12)all worms. He who shall pass away, his Soul ascends after death; (but) he descends after he passes away. (13)That is, he becomes bloated; badly--variant: his bones--all decay, (and) (14)his hair is gone. {Variant:} Appear--variant: Loosed are--the limbs; (15)(softened are the bones); the flesh all becomes evil--(16)variant: an evil liquid. He turns to dust, he smells, he decays, he becomes (17)altogether a mass of maggots. (So) he does when he is gone to the eye of Shu, as (do) (18)every God and every Goddess, all fowl, all fish, all snakes, (19)all worms, all quadrupeds, like the dead, the whole of them altogether, (20)(be)cause (it is they) that I have caused (to grovel) on their bellie(s when) they recognize me; it is (21)fear of me that has inspired terror (in) them. (But) {every} every creature is like one dead (22){dead}, even all the ?living? snakes--variant: (dies) likewise at his (appointed) time--the whole of them altogether: (23)all quadrupeds, all fowl, all fish, all snakes, all worms; (24)living or dead, (they) shall be yonder. There shall not come to pass all that the worm(s) do, that (25)they may not--variant: all that ye say, that they may not--come against me in their form(s). (26)Thou shalt not give me to that ?slayer{s}? who is in (his) (geba)--(27)variant: arm, who cuts off limbs, who bloats the hidden one, (28)who mingles--variant: mixes--with a multitude of corpses, who lives by slaying (29)the living, who carries out his mission, who does what has been commanded him. Thou shalt not give me into (30)his clutches, none shall prevail over (me), by command of the lord of the Gods. Hail to thee, (31)my Father Osiris. Thy members shall be with thee. Thou shalt not decay, thou shalt not rot, (32)thou shalt not turn to dust, thou shalt not smell, thou shalt not decompose, thou shalt not become rotten. (33)(I) go not to the eye of Shu. I continue to exist, I continue to exist, alive, (34)alive, enduring, enduring. I awake in peace, untroubled. (35)I shall not perish ?yonder, (O) uplifter of the uplifted one?. My (skull) shall not ?suffer?, (36)my ear shall not become deaf, my head shall not (leave) (37)my neck, my tongue shall not be taken, (my hair) shall not be cut off, (38)my eyebrows shall not fall out.

Mayest thou put thyself (7)on thy side, that I may put for thee water under thee. Behold, indeed, I (have) brought thee the Pillar-Amulet of gold strung on sycamore bast (12)and put at the throat of the blessed one.

(18)As for one who knows this spell, he shall be an initiate in the god's domain, he shall not be kept away from (21)the gates of the west.

(Proclaimed) for him is (10)protection. The Ruler of the shores decrees for him that there be made for him a record (of) the (12)great conflict, (for) he remembers what was being done against him. He causes fear (14)of him, he creates respect for him. Mut the great, she provides his magical protection, (so that) a comer (17)against her Horus trembles.

(clvi) (BD 161)Re lives, the turtle dies. Elicit (ye) the truth for Osiris N., the Dismembered One who is (again) in his original state. (1a)One (opening is) for the south (wind), that is, Re. (2)Re lives, the turtle dies, ?strangled by a noose of? the flesh of Qebehsenuf. Their comrade is Osiris (N.). (2a)Another (opening is for) the north wind, that is, Osiris. (3)Re lives, the turtle dies. The corpse is united with the earth; the bones of Osiris N. are united. (3a)Another (opening is for) the west wind, that is, Isis. (4)Re lives, the turtle dies. Sound stays the great one who is in the coffin. Sound stays Osiris N. forever. (4a)Another (opening is for) the east wind, that is, Nephthys. (5)As for every mummy for whom the Images are made on his inner coffin, (6)the 4 openings in the Sky are opened for him: one for the north (wind), (7)that is, Osiris; another for the south (wind), that is, the Moon; another for the west (wind), (8)that is, Isis; another for the east (wind), that is, Nephthys. As for each one of these winds (9)which is in its opening, it is its duty to enter his nose. No (10)outsider is to know (this spell, for) it is a secret; the rabble is not to know (it). (11)Do not use it for anyone--even thy father or thy mother--except (12)thine own self. It is a real secret; nobody at all is to know (it). (clvii) (BD 162)Spell for providing heat under the head of the blessed one. (1)To be said: Hail to thee, the Lord of might, Lofty (2)of Plumes, lord of the Coil, equipped with the flagellum. (Thou art) lord of the phallus, (3)constant as riser, shiner whose Rising is without (end). Thou art lord of forms, numerous of outward appearances, who conceals (5)himself in the Sound Eye from his children. Thou art he who roars loudly (6)in the midst of the Ennead, the great runner, swift of {his} step. (7)Thou art the mighty God to whom the crier (for help) has come, who delivers the needy from distress. So come at my call, (for) I am (9)the Heavenly Cow. Thy Name is in my mouth, and I will tell it. He of He(10)qeh(qed) is thy Name; ?Graven Image? is thy Name. I have praised thy Name. I am (13)the Heavenly Cow. Hear my voice this day. (Thou hast) put (14)heat under the head (of Re); and behold, he is (in) the divine nether world in Heliopolis. (15)Mayest thou cause him to become like one who is upon earth. He is thy Soul. Do (not) fail to know (16)him. Come to Osiris N. Mayest thou provide heat under (20)his head. (Verily) he is the Soul of the great Corpse that rests (21)in Heliopolis. ?The Essence of the Great One Shines? is his Name; ?Blessings Hath He Com(22)manded? is his Name. Come thou to him. Mayest thou cause him to become like one (23)of thy retinue. (Verily) he is thou (and vice versa). To be said over a Figure (24)of the Heavenly Cow made of fine gold and placed at the throat of the blessed one (25)and also put into writing on a new sheet of papyrus placed under (26)his head. (Then) much heat will envelop him like one who is upon earth. (27)(This is) a very, very great protection which the Heavenly Cow used for her Son Re (28)at his setting, when his seat was surrounded by ?ardent? troops with kindled face(s). If thou hast put this Goddess (30)at the throat of the King upon earth, he shall be like flame in the face of--(31)variant: in pursuit of--his enemies upon earth. If thou hast put her at his throat--(32)variant: at a man's throat--after death, he shall be divine in the god's domain (33)and shall not be kept from the gates of the nether world. A (34)truly excellent spell. Thou shalt say after thou hast put this Goddess at the throat of the blessed one: O (35)Most Hidden of the Hidden Ones, thou who art in Heaven, watch over the Corpse of thy Son, that thou keep him sound in the god's domain. (37)This roll great of mystery, do not let anyone see it, (for) that is an abomination. He who knows it and conceals (it), he is one who attains (continued) existence. (39)This roll, Mistress of the Hidden Seat, is its name. (40)Finis. (clviii) (BD 191)Spell for bringing the soul to the body. To be said b(y N.): O thou who carriest off the souls of the living, O thou who cuttest off shadows, O all ye gods who are over the living, come, bring ye the soul (2)of Osiris N. May it unite with his body, that his heart may be glad. May his soul come to his body and to his heart. Induct his soul (3)to his body and to his heart; provide his soul with his body and with (his) heart. Bring them to him, (ye) gods, in the benben-temple in Heliopolis beside Shu the son of Atum. He has his heart like Re; (4)he has his breast like Khepri. Pure, pure (are the offerings) for thy Spirit, for thy body, for thy soul, for thy shadow, for thy mummy in the nether world forever. (clix) (BD 192)Another spell. To be said: O Osiris N., doubly alive, doubly renewed, doubly youthful, there is nothing evil in any place wherein thou art. (2)(Thou) goest forth by day, thou enjoyest its sunshine, and the God comes to rest on the place ?where thou art?. Thou ascendest and descendest without thy feet being repelled. Opened for thee are the double doors of the nether world in (the silent land); unbarred (3)for {him} thee are the gates of the hidden realm. The doorkeepers extend their arms before them unto thee, rejoicing at thy approach (and saying): ''Thou enterest favored, (4)thou goest forth loved.'' He appoints thee as first among them, he is pleased with thee, and thou ?partakest? of his offerings. He protects thee; he does away with thy evil. Hail to thee. The Blameless praise (thee), they who are in the god's domain attend thee, (O) Osiris presiding over the west justified, Osiris N. (clx) A royal offering to Anubis the embalmer, that he may give goodly burial in the god's domain to Osiris N.
