"slayer of the heart . (3) I live in right and truth (Maat) and
"I have my being therein . I am Horus, the dweller in hearts, (q)
"who is within the dweller in the body. I live in my word, and
"my heart hath being . Let not my heart be taken away (5) from
"me, let it not be wounded, and may neither wounds nor gashes
"be dealt upon me because it hath been taken away from me .
"Let me have my being in the body of [my] father Seb, [and

"is held in abomination by the gods ; let me not suffer defeat
"there, [but let me be] triumphant ."
