Chap. XXV. THE CHAPTER OF MAKING A MAN TO POSSESS MEMORY IN THE UNDERWORLD. From the Papyrus of Nu.

Vignette : In the greater number of the Theban papyri this Chapter is
without vignette . In the Brocklehurst papyrus, however, (see Naville,
Todtenbuch, Bd . 1 . Bl . 36) the Sent priest, wearing a panther's skin, is
seen holding up before the face of the deceased, who stands before him,
a small bearded figure like an ushabti . In the Turin papyrus (Lepsius,
Todtenbueh, 131 . 15), the priest and the deceased are standing facing each
other, and no ceremony is being performed .

Text : (1) THE CHAPTER OF MAKING A MAN TO POSSESS
MEMORY IN THE UNDERWORLD . The chancellor-in-chief, Nu,
triumphant, the overseer of the palace, the son of the chief
chancellor Amen-hetep, saith :-

(2) "May my name be given to me in the Great House, and
"may I remember my name in the House of Fire on the night
"(3) of counting the years and of telling the number of the
"mouths. I am with the Divine One, and I sit on the eastern
"side of heaven . If any god whatsoever should advance unto
"me (4), let me be able to proclaim his name forthwith ."
