Let me have possession of my heart, let me have possession of my Whole heart; let me have possession of my arms, let me have possession of my legs, let me have possession of my funereal meals, let me have possession of air, let me have possession of water, let me have possession of the stream, let me have possession of the river, let me have possession of the barks. Let me have possession of all things soever which were ritually offered for me in the Netherworld. Let me have possession of the table which was made for me upon earth. Let me be raised up on the left and on the right; let me be raised up on the right and on the left. Let me sit down and let me stand up, and strain for the breeze [with] my tongue and mouth like a skilled pilot.(4.) _If this scripture is known, he will come forth by day and he will travel over the earth in the midst of the living, uninjured for ever._ NOTES. Copies of this chapter are found on the coffins of Mentuhotep and Sebak-āa at Berlin, and have been published by Lepsius in his _Aelteste Texte_, pl. 8, 21, 22, and 34. They are unfortunately in very mutilated condition, and my translation follows the text of the Theban papyri. 1. The _Re-ḥunit_ in this place is clearly not an Egyptian locality, but a passage between the Netherworld and heaven or earth. 2. _Solicitations_, ⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂ _ambire_, _ambitio_, and in a bad sense _ambages_. 3. This passage explains what is meant in Chapter 28 by the _god of the Broad Face_. One of the papyri (_Ia_) adds the well known epithet of the setting sun ⁂⁂ ‘old.’ It is Hathor who proceeds to Heliopolis, as the feminine suffix which is used in the oldest texts, proves. 4. M. Lefébure (Papyrus de Soutimès, p. 3, note 8) understands the passage as meaning “_I seek_ the direction of _the wind_ in order to avoid it.” But I am inclined to recognize a superstition still current among sailors, the “whistling for a breeze.” The oldest copies and the more recent ones have different readings, and though the words _uḫa ḫemu_ occur repeatedly in the Pyramid Texts, the second word is not written ⁂⁂⁂⁂, as in the Theban papyri, but ⁂⁂⁂⁂. ------------------------------------ CHAPTER LXIX. _Otherwise said_: I am a Flaming One, and brother to a Flaming One. I am Osiris, brother to Isis. He who avengeth me is my son Horus, in company with his mother, upon mine adversaries; adversaries who have done to me all wicked and evil things. Chains have been put upon their arms and hands and feet in consequence of the evil things which they have done to me. I am Osiris, the eldest of the great cycle of the gods(1.) and heir of his father Seb. I am Osiris, the Lord of the heads of life; powerful before and behind; his phallus extendeth to the limits of the human race.[81]
