"in heaven and who are upon earth [will] the victory of Horus,

"princes, who are in the horizon of Ainentet ; on the day of the
"festival of Haker in the presence of the great sovereign princes
"who are in Tattu ; on the night (8) of the setting up of the
"Tet in Tattu in the presence of the great sovereign princes
"who are in the ways of the damned ; on the night of the
"judgment of those who shall be annihilated in the presence of
"the great sovereign princes who are in Sekhem (Letopolis) ;
"(9) on the night of the `things of the altars in Sekhem' in the
"presence of the great sovereign princes who are in Pe and Tept ;
"on the night of the stablishing of the inheriting by Horus of
"the things of his father Osiris in the presence of the great
"sovereign princes (10) who are at the great festival of the

"sav), [in] Abtu ; on the night of the weighing of words," or

"therefore let all his enemies fall headlong, and be (13) over-
"thrown and cut to pieces . Horus the son of Isis and son of
"Osiris celebrated in turn millions of festivals, and all his ene-
mies fell headlong, and were overthrown and cut to pieces .
"Their habitation hath gone forth to the block of the East, their
"heads have been cut off ; (14) their necks have been destroyed ;
"their thighs have been cut off ; they have been given over to
"the Great Destroyer who dwelleth in the valley of the grave ;
"and they shall never come forth from under the restraint of
"the god Seb ."

Text : (1) "Hail, Thoth, who madest Osiris victorious (2) over
"his enemies, make thou the scribe Nebseni to be victorious over
"his enemies, as thou didst make Osiris victorious over his
"enemies in the presence of the (3) sovereign princes who are
"with Ra and Osiris in Annu (Heliopolis), on the night of the
"'things of the night', and on the night of the battle, (4) and
"on the night of the shackling of the Sebdu fiends, and on the
"day of the destruction of Neb-er-tcher ."

A. Vignette : The gods Tem, Shu, Tefnut, Osiris, and Thoth .

Text : (1) The great sovereign princes in Annu are Tem, Shu,
Tefnut, [Osiris, and Thoth], (2) and the `shackling of the Sebdu
fiends' signifieth the destruction of the fiends of Set when a
second time (3) he worketh evil .

"Hail, Thoth, who madest Osiris victorious over his enemies,
"make thou the Osiris (4) Ani to be victorious over his enemies
"in the presence of the great and sovereign princes who are in
"Tattu, on the night of making the 7e, to stand up in Tattu .

B. Vignette : The gods Osiris, Isis, Nephthys, and Horus .

Text : (1) The great sovereign princes in Tattu are Osiris,
Isis, Nephthys, and Heru-netch-hra-tef .r Now the [night of] of
making the Tet to stand up (2) in Tattu signifieth [the lifting
up of] the arm and shoulder of Horns who dwelleth in Sekhem
(Letopolis) ; and these gods stand behind Osiris [to protect him]
even as do the swathings which clothe him (3) .

"Hail, Thoth, who madest Osiris victorious over his enemies,
"make thou Osiris Ani triumphant over his enemies in the pre-
sence of (4) the sovereign princes who are in Sekhem (Leto-
"polis), on the night of the `things of the night [festival] in
"Sekhem' ."

C. Vignette : The gods Osiris and Horus, the two Utchats upon pylons,
and the god Thoth .

Text : (1) The great sovereign princes who are in Sekhem are
Heru-khenti-an-maati, 2 and Thoth who is with the sovereign
princes in Narerut-f I (2). Now the night of the "things of the
night [festival] in Sekhem" signifieth the light of the rising sun
on the coffin of Osiris .

"Hail, Thoth, who madest Osiris victorious (3) over his
"enemies, make thou the Osiris Ani triumphant over his enemies
"in the presence of the great sovereign princes who are in Pet
"and in Tept,- on the (4) night of setting up the columns of
"Horus, and of making him to be established as heir of the
"things which belonged to his father Osiris ."

D . Vignette : The gods Horus, Isis, Mestha, and Nephthys .

Text : (1) The great sovereign princes who are in Pet and
Tept are Horus, Isis, Mestha, and Hapi . Now "setting up the
columns of (2) Horus" signifieth the command given by Set
unto his followers : "Set up columns upon it."

"Hail, Thoth, who madest Osiris victorious over (3) his ene-
mies, make thou the Osiris Ani, triumphant in peace, victorious
"over his enemies in the presence of the great sovereign princes
"who are in the lands of Rekhti, (?) on the (4) night when Isis
"lay down to keep watch in order to make lamentation for her
"brother Osiris ."

E. Vignette : The gods Isis, Horus, Anpu (Anubis), Mestha, and Thoth .

Text : (1) The great sovereign princes who are in the lands
of Rekhti (?) arc Isis, Horus [,Anubis], Mestha, [and Thoth] .
"Hail, Thoth, who madest Osiris victorious (2) over his ene-
mies, make thou Osiris, the scribe Ani, triumphant in peace,
"to be victorious over his enemies in the presence of the great
"sovereign princes (3) who are in Abtu (Abydos), on the night
"of the god Haker, at the separation of the wicked dead, at the
"judgment (4) of the Khus, and at the rising up of joy in Teni
"(This) .

"offerings of all the gods, (3) to be victorious over his enemies
"in the presence of the sovereign princes who judge the dead,
"on the night (4) of the carrying out of the sentence upon those
"who are to die ."

G. Vignette : The gods Thoth, Osiris, Anpu (Anubis), and Astennu .

Text : (1) The great sovereign princes in the judgment of the
dead are Thoth, Osiris, Anubis, and Astennu . (2) Now the "carry-
ing out of the sentence upon those who are to die" is the with-
holding of that which is so needful to the souls of the children
of impotent revolt .

"Hail, (3) Thoth, who madest Osiris victorious over his ene-
mies, make thou Osiris, the scribe Ani, to be victorious over
"his enemies in the presence of the great (4) sovereign princes,
"on the festival of the breaking and turning up of the earth in
"Tattu, on the night of the breaking and turning up of the
"earth in their blood, and of making Osiris to be victorious
"over his enemies ."

H . Vignette : The three gods of the festival of breaking up the earth
in Tattu .
Text : (1) When the fiends of Set come and change them-
selves into beasts, the great sovereign princes, on the festival of
the breaking and turning up of the earth in Tattu, (2) slay them
in the presence of the gods therein, and their blood floweth
among them as they are smitten down . (3) These things are
allowed to be done by them by the judgment of those who are
in Tattu.

"Hail, Thoth, who madest Osiris to triumph over his enemies,
"make thou the Osiris Ani (4) to be victorious over his enemies
"in the presence of the great sovereign princes who are in Na-
"arerut-f,r on the night of him who concealeth himself in divers
"forms, even Osiris ."

I . Vignette : The gods Ra, Osiris, Shu, and Bebi, who is dog-headed .

Text : (1) The great sovereign princes who are in Na-arerut-f
are Rd, Osiris, Shu, and Bebi. Now the "night of him who
(2) concealeth himself in divers forms, even Osiris", is when the
the thigh, [and the head] and the heel, and the leg, are brought
nigh unto the coffin of Osiris Un-nefer .

"Hail, Thoth, who madest Osiris (3) to triumph over his ene-
mies, make thou Osiris Ani to be victorious over his enemies
"in the presence of the great sovereign princes in (4) Re-stau,
"on the night when Anubis lay with his arms and his hands over
"the things behind Osiris, and when Horus was made to triumph
"over his enemies ."

J . Vignette : The gods Horus, Osiris, Isis, and ....

Text : (1) The great sovereign princes in Re-stau are Horus,
Osiris, and Isis . The heart of Osiris rejoiceth, and the heart of
(2) Horus ; and therefore are the northern and southern parts

"Hail, Thoth, who madest Osiris victorious over his enemies,
"make thou (3) Osiris Ani, the scribe and teller of the divine
"offerings of all the gods, to triumph over his enemies in the

"his enemies, and (5) he hath destroyed every evil thing be-
"longing unto him ."
