Vignette : The deceased standing before two symbols of fire, or the de-
ceased sitting at a table of offerings and smelling a flower (Naville,
op . cit ., Bd. I . 131 . 74) .
Text : (I) THE CHAPTER OF NOT BEING SCALDED WITH
WATER . The overseer of the palace, the chancellor-in-chief, Nu,
triumphant, saith :-

"I am the oar made ready for rowing, (2) wherewith Ra trans-
ported the boat containing the divine ancestors, and lifted up
"the moist emanations of Osiris from the Lake of Fire, (3) and
"he was not burned . I lie down like a divine Khzz, [and like]
"Khnemu who dwelleth among lions . Come, break away (4)
"the restraints from him that passeth by the side of this path,
"and let me come forth by it ."
