Vignette : This Chapter is without a vignette in the Papyrus of Nu,
but in others containing the Theban Recension (see Naville, op . cit ., Ba. I .
Bl . 49) the vignettes either shew the deceased spearing a beetle, or stand-
ing, with a knife in one hand and a staff in the other, before a pedestal
upon which stands the insect Apshait, which has been identified with the
cockroach . The apshait is probably the beetle which is often found
crushed between the bandages of poorly made mummies, or even inside
the body itself, where it has forced its wav in search of food .

Text : THE CHAPTER OF BEATING BACK THE CROCODILE
THAT COMETH TO CARRY AWAY THE MAGICAL WORDS FROM THE KHU IN THE UNDERWORLD. (1) Osiris, Auf-ankh, triumphant,
saith :-

"The Mighty One fell down upon the place where he is, or
"(as others say), upon his belly, but the company of the gods
"caught him and set him up again . [My] soul cometh and it
"speaketh with its father, and the Mighty One delivereth it (2)
"from these eight I crocodiles . I know them by their names and
"[what] they live upon, and I am he who hath delivered his
"father from them ."

"Get thee back, O Crocodile that dwellest in the West, thou
"that livest upon the stars which never rest, (3) for that which
"is an abomination unto thee is in my belly, O thou that hast
"eaten the forehead of Osiris . I am Set ."

"Get thee back, O Crocodile that dwellest in the West, for
"the serpent-fiend Naau is in my belly, and I will give him unto
"thee ; let not thy flame be against me ."

"Get thee back, O (4) Crocodile that dwellest in the East,
"who feedest upon those who eat their own filth, for that which
"is an abomination unto thee is in my belly ; I advance, I am
"Osiris .

"Get thee back, O Crocodile that dwellest in the East, the
"serpent-fiend Naau is in (5) my belly, and I will give [him]
"unto thee ; let not thy flame be against me ."

"Get thee back, O Crocodile that dwellest in the South, who
"feedest upon filth, and waste, and dirt, for that which is an
"abomination unto thee is in my belly ; shall not the flame be
"on thy hand ? I am Sept ." (6)

"Get thee back, O Crocodile that dwellest in the South, for
"I am safe by reason of my charm ; my fist is among the flowers
"and I will not give it unto thee ."

"Get thee back, O Crocodile that dwellest in the North, who
"feedcst upon what is offered (?) within the hours, (7) for that
"which thou abominatest is in my belly ; let [not] thy venom
"be upon my head, for I am Tem ."

"Get thee back, O Crocodile that dwellest in the North, for
"the goddess Serqet is in my belly and I have not yet brought
"her forth (8) . I am Uapch-Maati (or Merti) ."

"The things which are created are in the hollow of my hand,
"and those which have not yet come into being are in my body .
"I am clothed and wholly provided with thy magical words,
"O Ra, the which are in heaven above me and in the earth
"beneath me . (9) I have gained power, and exaltation, and a
"full-breathing throat in the abode of my father Ur (i . e ., the
"Mighty One), and he hath delivered unto me the beautiful
"Amentet which destroyeth living men and women ; but strong
"is its divine lord, who suffereth from weakness," (10) or (as
others say) "exhaustion two-fold, therein day by day . My face
"is open, my heart is upon its seat, and the crown with the
"serpent is upon me day by day . I am Ra, who is his own
"protector, and nothing shall ever cast me to the ground ."

"of thine to the great god (3) who will cause thee to come to

"name of the other is `Hra-k-en-Maat' . 2 Heaven hath power over
"its seasons, (4) and the magical word hath power over that which
"is in its possession, let therefore my mouth have power over the
"magical word which is therein . My front teeth are like unto flint

"Hail thou that sittest with thine eyeball upon these my magical
"words! Thou shalt not carry them away, 0 thou crocodile that

In the Turin Papyrus (Lepsius, op . cit ., BI. t6) the following

"is Nut . I am Horns, the first-born of Ra, who is crowned . I

"are written down, I am the guardian of the door of Osiris,
"even I . I have come, I have become glorious (or a Khu), I have
"been reckoned up, I am strong, I have come and I avenge mine
"own self . (7) I have sat in the birth chamber of Osiris, and I
"was born with him, and I renew my youth along with him.
"I have laid hold upon the Thigh which was by Osiris, (8) and
"I have opened the mouth of the gods therewith . I sit upon the
"place where he sitteth, and I write down the number [of the
"things] which make strong (?) the heart, thousands of loaves of
"bread, thousands of vases of beer, which are upon the altars
"of his father Osiris, [numbers of] jackals, wolves, (9) oxen, red
"fowl, geese and ducks. Horus hath done away with the sacri-
"fices of Thoth . I fill the office of priest in the regions above,
"and I write down there [the things] which make strong the
"heart . I make offerings (or offerings are made to me) (10) at
"the altars of the Prince of Tattu, and I have my being through
"the oblations [made to] him . I snuff the wind of the East by
"his head, and I lay hold upon the breezes of the West thereby,
"(11) I go round about heaven in the four quarters thereof,
"I stretch out my hand and grasp the breezes of the south [which]
"are upon its hair . Grant unto me air among the venerable beings
"and among those who eat bread ."

Vignette : (1) Some papyri containing the Theban Recension give this
Chapter without any vignette, and it is probable that this arises from the
fact that it often appears as one of the texts which occur in the great
Judgment Scene, where it forms the prayer put into the mouth of the de-
ceased ; see the Papyrus of Ani, sheet 3, and the Papyrus of Hu-nefer,
sheet 3 . In the Papyrus of Nebseni, sheet q, the deceased kneels in one
pan of the Balance and he is being weighed against his heart which rests
in the other in the presence of "Osiris, the great god, the Governor of
Everlastingness" . The support of the beam is surmounted by a human
head, and the tongue of the Balance is being scrutinized by a dog-headed
ape, seated on a pedestal, who is called "Thoth, the lord of the Balance" .
Elsewhere this ape is seated on a pedestal with steps, and is called "The
lord of Khemcnnu (Hermopolis Magna), the righteous weigher" (see Na-
ville, Todtenbuch, Bd. I . BI. 43) . In the Papyrus of Amen-neb (Brit . Mus .
No. 9,964), the deceased stands by the Balance while a figure of him-
self is being weighed against his heart ; in this example of the scene the
support of the beam is surmounted by the head of a jackal . Elsewhere the
vignette is simply a heart, or a scarab, or the deceased seated adoring
his heart, or the deceased standing in adoration before a beetle, which
is the symbol of the god Kheperd, the self-created god and the type of
the Resurrection (see Lepsius, Todtenbuch, Bl . r6) .
Text : (1) THE CHAPTER OF NOT (2) LETTING THE HEART OF
OSIRIS, THE SCRIBE OF THE HOLY OFFERINGS OF ALL THE
GODS, ANT, TRIUMPHANT, BE DRIVEN FROM HIM IN THE UNDER-
WORLD. He saith :-

"My heart, my mother ; (3) my heart, my mother! My heart
"whereby I came into being! May naught stand up to oppose
"me at [my] judgment ; may there be no opposition to me in
"the presence of the sovereign princes (Tchatcha) ; may there be
"no parting of thee from me in the presence of him that keep-
"eth the Balance! Thou art my ka, the dweller in (4) my body ;
"the god Khnemu who knitteth and strengtheneth my limbs .
"Mayest thou come forth into the place of happiness whither we
"go. May the Shenit (i . e ., the divine officers of the court of
"Osiris), who form the conditions of the lives of men, not cause
"my name to stink . [Let it be satisfactory unto us, and let the
"listening be satisfactory unto us, and let there be joy of heart
"unto us at the weighing of words . Let not that which is false
"be uttered against me before the great god, the lord of Amentet .
"Verily how great shalt thou be when thou risest in triumph!]

In some ancient papyri the text of this Chapter is made to
follow the Rubric of Chapter LXIV, with which it had some
close connexion, and in others it follows the Rubric of Chapter
CXVIII . The Rubrical direction concerning Chapter LXIV
reads :- `Behold, make a scarab of green stone, wash it with
"gold and place it in the heart of a man (i . e ., the deceased),
"and it will perform for him the `opening of the mouth' ; an-
oint it with antu unguent, and recite over it as a charm the
"following words :- `My heart, my mother ; my heart, my
"mother!" etc . In the Turin Papyrus (Lepsius, Todtenbuch, BI . 16)
it follows Chapter XXX which contains parts of Chapters XXXA
and XXXB.

"mighty innermost part of heaven, let me remain on the earth
"and not die in Amentet, and let me be a klzu therein for ever
"and ever ."
