"Hail, phallus of Ra, who departest from thy calamity [which
"ariseth] through opposition (%), the cycles have been without
"movement for millions of years . I am stronger (3) than the
"strong, I am mightier than the mighty . If I sail away or if
"I be snatched away to the cast through the two horns," or (as
"others say), "if any evil and abominable thing be done unto
"me at the feast of the devils, the phallus of Ra shall be swal-
lowed up, (5) [along with] the head of Osiris . And behold me,
"for I journey along over the fields wherein the gods mow down
"those who make reply unto [their words] ; now verily (6) the
"two horns of the god Khepera shall be thrust aside ; and verily
"pus shall spring into being in the eye of Tern along with corruption
if I be kept in restraint, or if I have gone (7) towards
"the east, or if the feast of devils be made in my presence, or
"if any malignant wound be inflicted upon me ."

"slit ; and let not my mouth be shut fast by reason of the in-
cantations which thou hast within thee, according to that which
"thou doest for the Khus through (6) the incantations which

"saying, `Let thy face be towards thy privy parts, and look
"upon that face which cometh forth from the flame of the Eye

"went back, for the abomination of thee was in him ; and thou
"didst go back, for the abomination of him is in thee . I have
"gone back, for the abomination of thee is in me ; and thou
"shalt go back, for the abomination of me is in thee . (9) Thou
"wouldst come unto me, but I say that thou shalt not advance

vine slaughterers of the god Shu, `Depart' ."

"cometh onward' . The light (15) is beyond your knowledge, and
"ye cannot fetter it ; and times and seasons are in my body .
"I do not utter words to the god Hu, [I do not utter words of]
"wickedness instead of [words of] right and truth, (16) and each
"day right and truth come upon my eyebrows . At night taketh
"place the festival of him that is dead, the Aged One, who is
"in ward [in] the earth ."

Text : (I) [THE CHAPTER OF MAKING THE TRANSFORMATION
INTO (2) A BENNU BIRD.] The chancellor-in-chief, Nu, trium-
phant, saith :- (3)

"I came 2 into being from unformed matter . I came into
"existence like the god Khepera, I have germinated like the
"things which germinate (i . e ., plants), and I have dressed myself
"like the (4) Tortoise . 3 I am [of] the germs of every god . I am
"Yesterday of the four .[quarters of the world] and of those
"seven Uraei which came into existence in Amentet, that is to
"say, [Horus, who emitteth light from his divine body. (5) He
"is] the god [who] fought against Suti, but the god Thoth
"cometh between them through the judgment of him that dwell-
"eth in (6) Sekhem, and of the Souls who are in Annu, and
"there is a stream between them (7) I have come by day, and I
"have risen in the footsteps of the gods . I am the god Khensu,
"who driveth back all that oppose him ."

Rubric : [IF] THIS CHAPTER [BE KNOWN BY THE DECEASED] HE SHALL
COME FORTH PURE BY DAY AFTER HIS DEATH, AND HE SHALL PERFORM
WHATSOEVER TRANSFORMATIONS HIS HEART DESIRETH . HE SHALL BE IN
THE FOLLOWING OF UN-NEFER, AND HE SHALL BE SATISFIED WITH THE
FOOD OF OSIRIS AND WITH SEPULCHRAL MEALS . [HE] SHALL SEE THE DISK,
[HE] SHALL BE IN GOOD CASE UPON EARTH BEFORE RA, AND HE SHALL BE
TRIUMPHANT 13EFORE OSIRIS, ANT) NO EVIL THING WHATSOEVER SHALL,
HAVE DOMINION OVER HIM FOR EVER AND EVER .

Text : (I) THE CHAPTER OF MAKING THE TRANSFORMATION
INTO PTAH, OF EATING CAKES, AND OF DRINKING ALE, AND
OF UNFETTERING THE STEPS, AND OF BECOMING A LIVING
BEING IN ANNU (Heliopolis) . The chancellor-in-chief, Nu, trium-
phant, saith :- (2)

"I fly like a hawk, I cackle like the smen goose, and I perch
"(3) upon that abode of the underworld (dat) on the festival
"of the great Being . That which is an abomination unto me,
"that which is an abomination unto me, I have not eaten ; filth
"is an abomination unto me and I have not eaten thereof, (4)
"and that which is an abomination unto my ka bath not entered
"into my belly. Let me, then, live upon that which the gods
"and the Khus decree for me ; (5) let me live and let me have
"power over cakes ; let me eat them before the gods and the Khus
"[who have a favour] unto (6) me ; let me have power over [these
"cakes] and let me eat of them under the [shade of the] leaves
"of the palm tree of the goddess Hathor, (7) who is my divine
"Lady . Let the offering of the sacrifice, and the offering of cakes,
"and vessels of libations be made in Annu ; let me clothe my-
"self in (8) the tadu garment [which I shall receive] from the
"hand of the goddess Tait ; let me stand up and let me sit
"down (g) wheresoever I please . My head is like unto that of
"Rd, and [when my members are] gathered together [I am] like
"unto Tern ; the four [sides of the domain] of Ra, (1o) and the
"width of the earth four times . I come forth . My tongue is
"like unto that of Ptah and my throne is like unto that of the
"goddess Hathor, and I make mention of the words of Tern,
"my father, (11) with my mouth . He it is who constraineth
"the handmaid, the wife of Seb, and before him are bowed
"[all] heads, and there is fear of him . Hymns of praise are
"repeated for [me] by reason of [my] mighty acts, and I am
"decreed to be the divine (12) Hair of Seb, the lord of the
"earth and to be the protector therein . The god Seb refresheth
"me, and he maketh his risings to be mine . Those who dwell
"in Annu (13) bow down their heads unto me, for I am their
"lord and I am their bull . I am more powerful than the lord
"of time, and I shall enjoy the pleasures of love, and shall gain
"the mastery over millions of years ."
