Text : (1) THE CHAPTER OF DRIVING AWAY THE SLAUGH-
TERINGS WHICH ARE PERFORMED IN THE UNDERWORLD . Nebseni,
the scribe and designer in the Temples of Upper and Lower
Egypt, he to whom fair veneration is paid, (2) the son of the
scribe and artist Thena, triumphant, saith :-

"Hail, Tem, I have become glorious (or a Kku) in the pre-
sence of the double Lion-god, the great (3) god, therefore open
"thou unto me the gate of the god Seb . I smell the earth
"(i . e ., I bow down so that my nose toucheth the ground) of
"the great god who dwelleth in the underworld, and I advance
"(4) into the presence of the company of the gods who dwell
"with the beings who are in the underworld . Hail, thou guardian
"of the divine door of the city of Beta, thou [god] Neti O who
"dwellest in Amentet, (5) I eat food, and I have life through
"the air, and the god Atch-ur leadeth me with [him] to the
"mighty boat of (6) Khepera . I hold converse with the divine
"mariners at eventide, I enter in, I go forth, (7) and I see the
"being who is there ; I lift him up, and I say that which I have
"to say unto him, whose throat stinketh [for lack of air] . I have
"life, (8) and I am delivered, having lain down in death . Hail,
"thou that bringest offerings and oblations, bring forward thy
"mouth and make to draw nigh the writings (9) (or lists) of
"offerings and oblations . Set thou Right and Truth firmly upon
"their throne, make thou the writings to draw nigh, and set
"thou up the goddesses (10) in the presence of Osiris, the mighty
"god, the Prince of everlastingness, who counteth his years, who
"hearkeneth unto those who are in the islands (or pools), who
"raiseth his (11) right shoulder, who judgeth the divine princes,
"and who sendeth [Osiris] into the presence of the great sovereign
princes who live in the underworld .

upon thee all the things which the company of the gods
"(3) ordered concerning thee in the matter of the work of thy
"slaughter . Get thee back, thou abomination of Osiris, from the
"Neshntet boat . . . . which (4) advanceth with a fair wind . Ye
"are holy, O all ve gods, and [ye] have cast down headlong
"the enemies (5) of Osiris ; the gods of Ta-ur shout for joy . Get
"thee back, O thou Eater of the (6) Ass, thou abomination of
"the god Haas who dwelleth in the underworld . I know thee,
"I know thee, I know thee, I know thee . Who art thou? (7)
"I am "

II . (1) "On thy face, [O fiend], and devour me not, for I am
"pure, and I am with the time which cometh of itself. Thou
"shalt not come to me, O thou that comest' without being in-
"yoked, and whose [time of coming] is unknown . I am the lord
"of thy mouth, get thee back (3), thou and thy desires( ?) Hail,

"dwelling-place) is destroyed for thee by the company of thy gods
"who dwell in the cities of Pe and (4) Tep . He that slayeth
"[thee] there is in the form of the Eye of Horus, and I have
"driven thee away as thou wast advancing, and I have vanquished
"thee by the winds of my mouth. O thou Eater (5) of those
"who commit sins, who dolt plunder and spoil, I have [com-
"mitted] no sin ; therefore, let my palette and the writings with
"hostile charges [against me upon them] be given unto me . I
"have done no wrong in the presence of (6) the sovereign princes,
"therefore shoot not thy [venom] at me . I give, do thou take
"according to what I order ; snatch me not away, and eat me
"not, for I am the lord of life, the Prince (Life, Health, Strength!)
"of the horizon ."

Vignette : The deceased spearing a serpent .

Text : (1) THE CHAPTER OF DRIVING BACK THE SERPENT
REREK IN THE UNDERWORLD . Osiris Mes-em-neter saith:

(2) "Get thee back, depart, retreat (?) from [me], O Aaapef,
"withdraw, or thou shalt be drowned at the Pool of Nu, at
"the place where thy father (3) bath ordered that thy slaughter
"shall be performed . Depart thou from the divine place of
"birth of Ra wherein is thy terror . I am' Ra who dwelleth in
"his terror . (4) Get thee back, Fiend, before the darts of his
"beams. Ra bath overthrown thy words, the gods have turned
"thy face backwards, the Lynx bath (5) torn open thy breast,
"the Scorpion bath cast fetters upon thee ; and Maat bath sent
"forth thy destruction . Those who are in (6) the ways have
"overthrown thee ; fall down and depart, O Apep, thou Enemy
"of Ra! O thou that passest over the region in the eastern part
"of heaven with the sound of the roaring thunder-cloud, (7) O
"Ra who openest the gates of the horizon straightway on thv
"appearance, [Apep] bath sunk helpless under [thy] gashings . I
"have performed thy will, O Ra, I have performed thy will ;
"I have done that which is fair, I have done that which is fair,
"I have laboured for the peace of (8) Ra . [I] have made to ad-
vance thy fetters, O Ra, and Apep bath fallen through thy
"drawing them tight . The gods of the south and of the north,
"of the west and of the (g) east have fastened chains upon him,
"and they have fettered him with fetters ; the god Rekes bath
`overthrown him and the god Hertit bath put him in chains.
"Ra setteth, Ra setteth ; Ra is strong at [his] (io) setting . Apep
"bath fallen, Apep, the enemy of Ra, departeth . Greater is the
"punishment [which bath been inflicted on] thee than the sting (?)
"which is in the Scorpion goddess, and mightily hath she, whose
"course is everlasting, worked it upon thee and with deadly effect .
"(it) Thou shalt never enjoy the delights of love, thou shalt
"never fulfil thy desire, O Apep, thou Enemy of Ra! He maketh
"thee to go back, O thou who art hateful to Ra ; he looketh
"upon thee, (12) get thee back! [He] pierceth [thy] head, [he]
"cutteth through thy face, [he] divideth [thy] head at the two
"sides of the ways, and it is crushed in his land ; thy bones
"are smashed in pieces, thy members are hacked off thee, and
"the god [A]ker bath condemned (13) thee, O Apep, thou enemy
"of Ra! Thy mariners are those who keep the reckoning for
"thee, [O Ra, as thou] advancest, and thou restest there wherein
"are the offerings made to thee . [As thou] advancest, [as thou]
"advancest towards the House (14) the advance which thou hast
"made towards the House is a prosperous advance ; let not any
"baleful obstacle proceed from thy mouth against me when thou
"workest on my behalf. I am Set who let loose the storm-clouds
"and the (15) thunder in the horizon of heaven even as [doth]
"the god Netcheb-ab-f."

"'Hail', saith the god Tem, `Make strong your faces, O soldiers
"of Ra, for I have driven back the god (16) Nentcha in the pre-
sence of the divine sovereign princes .' `Hail', saith the god Seb,
"`Make ye firm those who are upon their seats which are in the
"boat of Khepera, (17) take ye your ways, [grasping] your
"weapons of war in your hands .: 'Hail', saith Hathor, `Take ve
"your armour .' `Hail', saith Nut, `Come and repulse the god (18)
"Tcha who pursueth him that dwelleth in his shrine and who
"setteth out on his way alone, namely, Neb-er-tcher, who can-
"not be repulsed.' `Hail', say those gods who dwell in their (19)
"companies and who go round about the Turquoise Pool, `Come,
"O mighty One, we praise and we will deliver the Mighty One
"[who dwelleth in] the divine Shrine, from whom proceeds the
"company of the gods, (20) let commemorations be made for
"him, let praise be given to him, let words [of praise] be recited
"before him by you and by me' . `Hail', saith Nut to thy Sweet
"One. `Hail', say those who dwell among the gods, (21) `He
"cometh forth, he findeth [his] way, he maketh captives among
"the gods, he hath taken possession of the goddess Nut, and Seb
"standeth up .' Hail, thou terrible one, the company of the gods
"is on (22) the march . Hathor quaketh with terror, and Ra hath
"triumphed over Apep ."

"I have gained power (4) therein, and I live therein through
"the breezes [which are there] . I am the guide in the boat of
"Rd, and he openeth out for me a path ; he maketh a passage
"for me through the gates (5) of the god Seb . I have seized
"and carried away those who live in the embrace of the god
"Ur (i . e ., Mighty One) ; I am the guide of those who live in
"their shrines, the two brother-gods Horus and Set ; and I bring
"the (6) noble ones with me . I enter in and I come forth, and
"my throat is not slit ; I go into the boat of Maat, and I pass
"in among (7) those who live in the Atet boat, and who are in
"the following of Ra, and are nigh unto him in his horizon .
"I live after my death day by by, and I am strong even as is
"the double Lion-god . (8) I live, and I am delivered after my
"death, I, the scribe Nebseni, the lord of piety, who fill the
"earth and come forth like the lily of mother-of-emerald, of the

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,

"The Mighty One fell down upon the place where he is, or

"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 ."

Text : (1) THE CHAPTER OF BEATING BACK THE CROCODILE
THAT COMETH TO CARRY AWAY THE CHARM FROM Nu, THE
OVERSEER OF THE PALACE, THE CHANCELLOR-IN-CHIEF, TRIUM-
PHANT, THE SON OF THE OVERSEER OF THE PALACE, AMEN-
HETEP, TRIUMPHANT, IN THE: UNDERWORLD . He saith :-(2)

"Get thee back, return, get thee back, thou crocodile-fiend
"Sui ; thou shalt not advance to me, for I live by reason of the
"magical words which I have by me . I do not utter that name
"of thine to the great god (3) who will cause thee to come to
"the two divine envoys ; the name of the one is Betti,' and the
"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
"knives, and my jaw-teeth are like unto the Nome of Tutef. 3
"Hail thou that sittest with thine eyeball upon these my magical
"words! Thou shalt not carry them away, 0 thou crocodile that
"livest by means of magical words!"

In the Turin Papyrus (Lepsius, op . cit ., BI. t6) the following
lines are added to this Chapter :

"I am the Prince in the field . I, even I, am Osiris, who hath
"shut in his father Seb together with his mother Nut (5) on the
"day of the great slaughter . My father is Seb and my mother
"is Nut . I am Horns, the first-born of Ra, who is crowned . I
"am Anpu (Anubis) on the day of reckoning . I, even I, am Osiris,
"(6) the prince who goeth in and declareth the offerings which
"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 ."

Rubric : IF THIS CHAPTER RE KNOWN BY ITHE DECEASED] HE SHALL
COME FORTH BY DAY, HE SHALL, RISE UP TO WALK UPON THE EARTH
AMONG THE LIVING, AND HE SHALL NEVER FAIL AND COME TO AN END,
NEVER, NEVER, NEVER.
