Text : (I) THE CHAPTER OF BRINGING ALONG A BOAT IN
HEAVEN. The chancellor-in-chief, triumphant, saith :- (2)

"Hail to thee, O thou Thigh which dwellest in the northern
"heaven in the Great Lake, which art seen and which diest not .
"I have stood up over thee when thou didst rise like a god . I
"have seen thee, (3) and I have not lain down in death ; I have
"stood over thee, and I have risen like a god . I have cackled
"like a goose, and I have alighted like the hawk (4) by the
"divine clouds and by the great dew. I have journeyed from
"the earth to heaven. The god Shu bath [made] me to stand
"up, the god of Light (5) hath made me to be vigorous by the
"two sides of the ladder, and the stars which never rest set
"[me] on [my] way and bring [me] away from slaughter . I bring
"along with me the things which drive back (6) calamities as
"I advance over the passage of the god Pen ; thou comest, how
"great art thou, O god Pen ! I have come from the Pool of
"(7) Flame which is in the Sekhet-Sasa (i . e ., the Field of Fire) .
"Thou livest in the Pool of Flame in Seket-Sasa, and (8) I
"live upon the staff of the holy [god] . Hail, thou god Kaa,
"who dost bring those things which are in the boats by the
" (g ) I stand up in the boat and I guide myself
"[over] the water ; I have stood up in the boat and the god
"hath guided me . I have stood up . I have spoken . [I am master
"of the] (to) crops . I sail round about as I go forward, and
"the gates which are in Sekhem (Letopolis) are opened unto
"me, and fields are awarded unto me in the city of Unnu (Her-
"mopolis), (it) and labourers (?) are given unto me together
"with those of my own flesh and bone."

Text : (I) THE CHAPTER OF BEING NIGH UNTO THOTH AND
OF GIVING GLORY UNTO A MAN IN THE UNDERWORLD . The
chancellor-in-chief, Nu, triumphant, saith :-

"I am the god Her-ab-maat-f (i. e ., `he that is within his eye'),
"and I have come to give (2) right and truth to Ra ; I have
"made Suti to be at peace with me by means of offerings made
"to the god Aker and to the Tesheru deities, and by [making]
"reverence unto Seb ." I

[The following] words are to be recited in the Sektet boat :-
"[Hail,] (3) sceptre of Anubis, I have made the four Khus who
"are in the train of the lord of the universe to be at peace with
"me, and I am the lord of the fields through their decree . (4)
"I am the divine father Bah (i . e ., the god of the water-flood),
"and I do away with the thirst of him that keepeth ward over
"the Lakes . Behold ye me, then, O great (5) gods of majesty
"who dwell among the Souls of Annu, for I am lifted up over
"you. I am the god Menkh (i . e ., Gracious one) who dwelleth
"among you . (6) Verily I have cleansed my soul, O great god
"of majesty, set not before me the evil obstacles which issue
"from thy mouth, (7) and let not destruction come round about
"me, or upon me. I have made myself clean in the Lake of
"making to be at peace, [and in the Lake of] weighing in the
"balance, and I have bathed myself in Netert-utchat, which is
"under the holy sycamore tree (8) of heaven . Behold [I am] bath-
ed, [and I have] triumphed [over] all [mine enemies] straight-
"way who come forth and rise up against right and truth . I am
"right and true in the earth . I, even I, have spoken(?) with my
"mouth [which is] the power of the Lord, the Only one, Ra
"the mighty, who liveth upon right and truth . Let not injury
"be inflicted upon me, [but let me be] clothed on the day of
"those who go forward(?) (to) to every [good] thing ."

Vignette : The deceased standing before Thoth with both hands raised
in adoration of the god (see Naville, op . cit ., Bd. I . Bl . 107) . In the
papyrus of User-hat (Brit . Mus . No . 1o,oog), which probably belongs
to the period of the XV111th dynasty, the vignette is a goose, but this
arises from the fact that the Chapter is there called "[The Chapter] of
making the transformation into a goose" .

Text : (I) THE CHAPTER OF BEING NIGH UNTO THOTH. The
chancellor-in-chief, Nu, triumphant, saith :-- (2)

"I am he who sendeth forth terror into the powers of rain
"and thunder, and I ward off from the great divine lady the
"attacks of violence . [I have smitten like the god Shat (i . e .,
"the god of slaughter), and I have poured out libations of cool
"water like the god Ashu, and I have worked for the great di-
vine lady [to ward off] the attacks of violence], I have made
"to flourish [my] knife along with the knife (3) which is in the
"hand of Thoth in the powers of rain and thunder ."

"I am filled with might, and I am supplied with the books of
"Thoth], and I have brought [them to enable me] to pass through
"the god Aker who dwelleth in Set . I have brought the ink-
"pot and the palette as being the objects which are in the hands
"(4) of Thoth ; hidden is that which is in them . Behold me
"in the character of a scribe ! I have brought the offal of Osiris,
"and I have written thereon (5) . I have made (i. e ., copied) the
"words of the great and beautiful god each day fairly. O lieru-
"khuti, thou didst order me and I have made (i . e ., copied)
"what is right and true, and I do bring it unto thee each day ."

lowed up, (5) [along with] the head of Osiris . And behold me,

"pus shall spring into being in the eye of Tern along with corruption

"Hail, thou that cuttest off heads, and slittest brows, thou
"being who puttest away the memory of evil things from the
"mouth of the Kilos by means of the incantations which they
"have within them, look not upon me with the [same] eyes (3)
"with which thou lookest upon them . Go thou round about on
"thy legs, and let thy face be [turned] behind thee so that thou
"mayest be able to see the divine slaughterers of the god Shu
"who are coming up (¢) behind thee to cut off thy head, and
"to slit thy brow by reason of the message of violence [sent]
"by thy lord, and to see(?) that which thou sagest . Work thou
"for me so that the memory of evil things shall dart (5) from
"my mouth ; let not my head be cut off ; let not my brow be
"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
"they have within themselves . Get thee back and depart at the
"[sound of] the two speeches which the goddess Isis uttered
"when thou didst come to cast the recollection of evil things
"into the mouth of Osiris (7) by the will of Suti his enemy,
"saying, `Let thy face be towards thy privy parts, and look
"upon that face which cometh forth from the flame of the Eye
"of Horus against thee from within the Eye of Tem,' and the
"calamity (8) of that night which shall consume thee . And Osiris
"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
"to me so that I come to an end, and [I] say then to the di-
vine slaughterers of the god Shu, `Depart' ."

"it to travel over Nut, who make souls to enter into [their] spiritual
"bodies, (9) whose hands are filled with your ropes and who clutch
