8. Chapter 111 stops at the word “Sunset.” And after this, the text in chapter 149 changes the third to the first person, and reads: “But I go round the heaven whilst thou art pierced with hooks,” as if Rā were replying to the words of Sutu. This, I confess, appears to me to offer a better sense than that of chapter 108. And I should now alter the word “stabber” in the first line of chapter 39 to “pierced with hooks.” ----- Footnote 93: On this picture (plate 11) may also be seen an interesting illustration of chapter 39; the scorpion goddess putting the chain upon Âpepi, in front of whom are the divinities to execute, with swords and hooks, the decree passed against him. The children of Horus are also seen occupied in the execution. ------------------------------------ CHAPTER CIX. _Chapter whereby one knoweth the Powers of the East._ I know that Eastern Gate of Heaven (the South of it is by the lake of Cha-ru, and the north of it by the stream of Reu), from whence Rā saileth with favouring gales.(1.) I am the Teller(2.) in the divine ship: I am the unresting navigator in the Bark of Rā. I know those two Sycomores of Emerald between which Rā cometh forth, as he advanceth over what Shu hath lifted up,[94] to every gate(3.) through which he proceedeth. I know the Garden of Aarru: the wall of it is of steel. The wheat of it is of 7 cubits, the ears of it of 2 cubits, the stalk of it of 4 cubits. The barley of it is of 7 cubits, and the ears are of 4 cubits, and the stalk of 3 cubits. It is the glorified ones, each of whom is 9 cubits in height, who reap them, in presence of the Powers of the East. I know the Powers of the East: Horus of the Solar Mount, the Calf in presence of the God,(4.) and the Star of Dawn. A divine Domain(5.) hath been constructed for me; I know the name of it; the name of it is the garden of Aarru. NOTES. Another recension of this chapter has been incorporated into chapter 149. The differences lie chiefly in the order assigned to each of the component sentences. 1. _Favouring gales_ ⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂ “_sailing breezes_,” correspond to phrases like ἴκμενος οὖρος, venti secundi, trade winds, tail wind, stern wind. There is not the faintest authority from the older papyri (which are very numerous, and remarkably unanimous on this point) in favour of the determinative ⁂, of the Turin _Todtenbuch_, which gives the sense of violent or tempestuous winds. 2. _Teller_, ⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂. 3. _Every gate._ “Rā at his rising is adored by the Powers of the East. They it is who effect the rising of Rā, by opening the door at each of the four portals of the Eastern horizon of heaven.” (Inscr. in tomb of Rameses VI, Champollion, _Notices_, Tom. II, p. 640.)
