"victory [to be placed] on [thy] living brow, O thou who lovest

"hath made thee to triumph over thine enemies, and thy father
"Seb bath decreed for thee all his inheritance . Come, therefore,
"O Horus, son of Isis, for thou, O son of Osiris, sittest upon
"the throne of thy (3) father Ra to overthrow thine enemies,
"for he hath ordained for thee the two lands to their utmost
"limits . Atem bath [also] ordained this, and the company of the
"gods bath confirmed the splendid power of the victory of Horus
"the son of Isis and the son of Osiris for ever and (4) for ever .
"And Osiris Auf-ankh shall be victorious for ever and ever . O
"Osiris-khent-Amentet, the whole of the northern and southern
"parts of the heavens, and every god and every goddess, who are
"in heaven and who are upon earth [will] the victory of Horus,
"the son of Isis and the son of Osiris, over his enemies in the
"presence of (5) Osiris-khent-Amentet who will make Osiris
"Auf-ankh, victorious, to triumph over his enemies in the pre-
sence of Osiris-khent-Amentet, Un-nefer, the son of Nut, on
"the day of making him to triumph over Set and his fiends (6)
"in the presence of the great sovereign chiefs who are in Annu
"(Heliopolis) ; on the night of the battle and overthrow of the
" Seba-fiend in the presence of the great sovereign princes who
"are in. Abtu ; on the night of making Osiris to triumph over
"his enemies (7) make thou Osiris Auf-ankh, triumphant, to
"triumph over his enemies in the presence of the great sovereign
"princes, who are in the horizon of Ainentet ; on the day of the
"festival of Haker in the presence of the great sovereign princes
"who are in Tattu ; on the night (8) of the setting up of the
"Tet in Tattu in the presence of the great sovereign princes
"who are in the ways of the damned ; on the night of the
"judgment of those who shall be annihilated in the presence of
"the great sovereign princes who are in Sekhem (Letopolis) ;
"(9) on the night of the `things of the altars in Sekhem' in the
"presence of the great sovereign princes who are in Pe and Tept ;
"on the night of the stablishing of the inheriting by Horus of
"the things of his father Osiris in the presence of the great
"sovereign princes (10) who are at the great festival of the
"ploughing and turning up of the earth in Tattu, or (as others
"sav), [in] Abtu ; on the night of the weighing of words," or
(as others say), "weighing of locks in the presence of the great
"sovereign princes who are in An-rut-f on its place ; on the
"night when Horus receiveth the birth-chamber of the gods (11)
"in the presence of the great sovereign princes who are in the
"lands of Rekhti (?) ; on the night when Isis lieth down to
"watch [and] to make lamentation for her brother in the pre-
sence of the great sovereign princes who are in Re-stau ; on
"the night of making Osiris to triumph over all his enemies" (12) .
"Horus repeated [these] words four times, and all his enemies
"fell headlong and were overthrown and were cut to pieces ; and
"Osiris Auf-ankh, triumphant, repeated [these] words four times,
"therefore let all his enemies fall headlong, and be (13) over-
"thrown and cut to pieces . Horus the son of Isis and son of
"Osiris celebrated in turn millions of festivals, and all his ene-
mies fell headlong, and were overthrown and cut to pieces .
"Their habitation hath gone forth to the block of the East, their
"heads have been cut off ; (14) their necks have been destroyed ;
"their thighs have been cut off ; they have been given over to
"the Great Destroyer who dwelleth in the valley of the grave ;
"and they shall never come forth from under the restraint of
"the god Seb ."
