Text : (1) THE CHAPTER OF NOT DYING A SECOND TIME IN
THE UNDERWORLD. Osiris Ani, triumphant, saith :-

"My place of hiding is opened, my place of hiding is revealed .
"The Khus have (2) fallen into the darkness, but the Eye of
"Horns bath made me mighty and the god Ap-uat hath nursed
"me like a babe . I have hidden (3) myself with you, 0 ye stars
"that never diminish! My brow is like unto that of Ra ; my
"face is open ; (4) my heart is upon its throne ; I have power
"over the speech of my mouth ; I have knowledge ; in very truth
"I am Rd himself. I am not held to be a person of no account ;
"(5) and violence shall not be done unto me . Thy father liveth
"for thee, 0 son of Nut ; I am thy son, 0 Great One, and I
"have seen the hidden things (6) which belong unto thee . I am
"crowned king of the gods, I shall not die a second time in
"the underworld ."
