saith :-
"Let the gates of heaven be opened for me by the god [Thoth]

"into the great heaven," or (as others say), "at the time," (2)
"[or (as others say)], "with the strength(?) of Ra . Grant ye, [0

"the divine beings who have (4) mighty arms in their shoulders,
"even as the god who is apparelled in splendour and whose
"name is unknown had power over them ; and may I have power
"over the beings whose arms are mighty ."
