Text : (1) THE CHAPTER OF NOT ENTERING IN UNTO THE
BLOCK . The overseer of the palace, the chancellor-in-chief, Nu,
triumphant, saith :-

"I have joined up my head and neck in heaven [and] in earth .
"(2) Behold it is Rd who, day by day, stablisheth the knot for
"him who stood helpless upon his legs on the day of cutting
`off the hair . The god Suti and the company of the gods have
"joined together my (3) neck and my back strongly, and they
"are even as they were in the time that is past ; may nothing
"happen to break them apart! Make ye me strong against the
"slaughterer of my divine father . (4) I have gotten power over
"my two lands . The goddess Nut hath joined together the bones
"of my neck and back, and I behold them as they were in the
"time that is past, when as yet I had not seen Madt, and when
"the gods were not born (5) in visible forms . I am Penti, and
"I am in the form of the destroyer of the great gods ."
