"into the great heaven," or (as others say), "at the time," (2)
"[or (as others say)], "with the strength(?) of Ra . Grant ye, [0
"Thoth and Hapi,] that I may have power over the water, even
"as Set had power over (3) his enemies on the day when there
"were storms and rain upon the earth . Let me have power over
"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 ."
