I take this opportunity of correcting my former translation, where the preposition ⁂, which twice occurs in the passage, is both times rendered by the same word, _from_. But the sense of a preposition really depends upon the verb which it follows. The same English word will not suit the French _de_ in ‘s’approcher _de_’ and ‘s’éloigner _de_.’ ------------------------------------ CHAPTER XCIX. _Chapter whereby one Saileth a Ship in the Netherworld._ Oh thou who sailest the ship of Nu over that chine which is void,(1.) let me sail the ship; let me fasten my tackle(2.) in peace; in peace! Come, come; Fleet one, Fleet one! Let me come to see my father Osiris. Oh thou who art veiled, let me enjoy happiness. Oh thou who art clouded, but manful, and who sailest round over that chine of Âpepi; thou of firm head and steadfast breast when coming forth from the fiery blows: Oh thou who art at the ship, let me sail the ship, let me fasten my tackle and come forth. This place is empty, into which the starry ones fall down headlong upon their faces,(3.) and find not aught whereby they can raise themselves up. Narrow is the path as the tongue of Rā.(4.) [_The Patrol who goeth round, and who piloteth the Double Earth_; Seb abideth stably by means of their rudders: _the divine Form which revealeth the Solar Orb_: and _He who presideth over the Red ones_.(5.)] Let me be brought in as a distressed mariner, and let my Soul come to me, which is my brother, and go to that place which thou knowest. _“Let me be told my name,” say_, 1. _The Mooring post._ “Lord of the Double-Earth in the Shrine” is thy name. 2. _The Blade of the Rudder._ “Leg of Apis ” is thy name. 3. _The Hawser._ “The Side-Lock which Anubis fastens on to the swathing work” is thy name. 4. _The Stern or Stem Posts._ “The two columns of the Netherworld” is thy name. 5. _The Hold._ “Akar” is thy name. 6. _The Mast._ “Bearer of the Great one whilst she passeth” is thy name. 7. _The Keel._ “Backbone of Apuat” is thy name. 8. _The Mast-head._ “Throat of Emsta” is thy name. 9. _The Sail._ “Nut” is thy name. 10. _The Leathers._(6.) “Made of the hide of Mnevis, which Sutu hath scorched,” is thy name. 11. _The Oars._ “Fingers of the elder” is your name. 12. _The Bracement._ “Hand of Isis, stanching the blood of the Eye of Horus,” is thy name. 13. _The Ribs._ “Emsta, Hapi, Tuamautef, Kebehsenuf, He who taketh captive, He who taketh by force, He who seeth his Father, and He who maketh himself,” are your names. 14. _The Look-out_:(7.) “Master of the Grounds”(8.) is thy name. 15. _The Tiller_:(9.) “Merit”(10.) is thy name. 16. _The Rudder_: “The Umpire, beaming forth from the water,” is thy name. 17. _The Hull_: “The Leg of Hathor, which Rā wounded, on his lifting her into the Sektit Boat,” is thy name. 18. _The Boatman_: “Off” is thy name.
