=Rise in Hotep, Lord of the Two Earths=, I arrive in thee: I salute the stream of _T’eserit_.(14.) Lo, here am I, and all impurity is far from me. The great one flourisheth ... I net the ducks, and I eat dainties. =Kankanit=,(15.) I arrive in thee; that I may see my father and attentively view my mother. I take care to net the reptiles; and that which protecteth me is that I know the name of that god who is next to T’eserit (goddess with flowing locks and armed with horns), and who reapeth. I myself plough and reap. =Hesit=, I arrive in thee, and I encounter the Blue. I follow the Breezes, and the company of the gods. It is the Great goddess who hath given me my head, and he who fasteneth my head upon me is the Great god, the Blue-eyed, who doeth according to his own will. =Userit=,(16.) I arrive in thee, in face of the mansion where food is produced for me. =Smait=,(17.) I arrive in thee. My heart is awake: my head is provided with the White crown and I am conveyed over the heavens: and I make those things to prosper which are below me: a joy to the Bull of the gods above, the divine company. I am the Bull, the Lord of the gods; and I make my way through the midst of the Emerald ones.(18.) =Isle of Corn and Barley=, divine district, I arrive in thee. I encounter and I bear off that which proceedeth from the head of Rā: the pair of horns which have the force of purification.(19.) I make myself fast to the Block of Moorage on the heavenly stream, and I utter my praise to the gods who are in the Garden of Hotepit. NOTES. The text of this chapter handed down by the Turin papyrus and those which agree with it contains nothing very difficult for a translator, but on being compared with the older copies it is found to consist of a collection of small fragments of the older text put together without any regard to their original order or context. And about three-quarters of the old chapter are suppressed in the new recension. The editors of the fine papyrus of Sutimes in their notes upon this chapter remark, that in the Turin text the sentences are in quite a different order from that of their papyrus, “On peut y voir,” they say, “l’effet de lectures et de transcriptions en rebours du sens, par des scribes ayant mal compris les éditions en colonnes rétrogrades.” This is, curiously enough, the very fault of the papyrus of Sutimes itself, which is here wrong from beginning to end,[98] though probably derived from an excellent original. It begins with the “Isle of Corn and Barley,” and jumbles together quite incoherent sentences.
