Chap. XCV . THE CHAPTER OF BEING NIGH UNTO THOTH. From the Papyrus of Nu

Vignette : The deceased standing before Thoth with both hands raised
in adoration of the god (see Naville, op . cit ., Bd. I . Bl . 107) . In the
papyrus of User-hat (Brit . Mus . No . 1o,oog), which probably belongs
to the period of the XV111th dynasty, the vignette is a goose, but this
arises from the fact that the Chapter is there called "[The Chapter] of
making the transformation into a goose" .

Text : (I) THE CHAPTER OF BEING NIGH UNTO THOTH. The
chancellor-in-chief, Nu, triumphant, saith :-- (2)

"I am he who sendeth forth terror into the powers of rain
"and thunder, and I ward off from the great divine lady the
"attacks of violence . [I have smitten like the god Shat (i . e .,
"the god of slaughter), and I have poured out libations of cool
"water like the god Ashu, and I have worked for the great di-
vine lady [to ward off] the attacks of violence], I have made
"to flourish [my] knife along with the knife (3) which is in the
"hand of Thoth in the powers of rain and thunder ."
