Text : (1) THE CHAPTER OF [A MAN] COMING FORTH AGAINST
HIS ENEMIES IN THE UNDERWORLD . The overseer of the palace,
the chancellor-in-chief, Nu, triumphant, saith :- (2)

"O thou god who eatest thine arm, I have departed from thy
"road. I am Ra, and I have come forth from the horizon against
"my enemies and he hath granted to me that they shall not
"escape from me . I have made an offering, and my hand is
"like that of the lord of the [beret crown . I have lifted up my
"feet even as the uraei goddesses rise up . My overthrow shall
"not be accomplished, (4) and as for mine enemy he hath been
"given over into my power and he shall not be delivered from
"me. I shall stand up like Horus, and I shall sit down like Ptah,
"and I shall be mighty like Thoth, (5) and I shall be strong
"like Tem . I shall, therefore, walk with my legs, I shall speak
"with my mouth, I shall go round about in quest of mine enemy,
"and [as] he hath been delivered over to me he shall not escape
"from me."
