Text : (1) THE CHAPTER OF (2) NOT ENTERING IN UNTO THE
BLOCK OF THE GOD. Nebseni saith :-

"The four bones (or knots) of my neck and back have been
"joined together for me by the (3) Guardian of heaven, who
"stablished the knot for him who lay helpless at the breasts [of
"his mother] on the day of cutting off the hair . The bones of
"my neck and back (4) have been knit together by the god Set
"and by the company of the gods as strongly as they were in the
"time that is past ; may nothing happen to break them apart!
"Make ye me strong! The goddess Nut hath joined together the
"bones of my (5) neck and back, [and they arc] even as they
"were in the time that is past, when I saw the true birth of the
"gods in visible forms take place in its true and right order . I
"am Peti, and I am in the presence of the great god ."
