I have propitiated the god with that which he loveth. I have given bread to the hungry, water to the thirsty, clothes to the naked, a boat to the shipwrecked. I have made oblations to the gods and funeral offerings to the departed: deliver me therefore: protect me therefore: and report not against me in presence of the great god. I am one whose mouth is pure, and whose hands are pure, to whom there is said “Come, come in peace,” by those who look upon him. For I have listened to the words which were spoken by the Ass and the Cat in the house of Hept-ro.(35.) And I have undergone the inspection of the god Whose face is behind him, who awardeth my verdict(36.), so that I may behold what the Persea tree covereth(37.) in Restau. I am one who glorifieth the gods and who knoweth the things which concern them. I am come and am awaiting that inquisition be made of Rightfulness and that the Balance be set upon its stand within the bower of amaranth.(38.) O thou who art exalted upon thy pedestal and who callest thy name, Lord of Air: deliver me from those messengers of thine who inflict disasters(39.) and bring about mishaps. No covering have they upon their faces. For I have done the Righteousness of a Lord of Righteousness. I have made myself pure: my front parts are washed, my back parts are pure, and my inwards steeped in the Tank of Righteousness. There is not a limb in me which is void of Righteousness. I purify me in the Southern Tank, and I rest me at the northern lake, in the Garden of Grasshoppers.(40.) The Boatmen of Rā purify them there at this hour of the night or day(41.) and the hearts of the gods are appeased(42.) when I pass through it by night or by day. Let him come(43.): that is what they say to me. Who, pray, art thou? that is what they say to me. What, pray, is thy name? that is what they say to me. “He who groweth under the Grass(44.) and who dwelleth in the Olive tree” is my name. Pass on, then: that is what they say to me. I pass on to a place north of the Olive. What, prithee, didst thou see there? A thigh(45.) and a leg. And what, prithee, said they to thee? That I shall see(46.) the greetings in the lands there of the Fenchu. What, prithee, did they give to thee? A flame of fire and a pillar of crystal. And what, prithee, didst thou to them? I buried them on the bank of the Lake of Māāit as Provision of the Evening. What, prithee, didst thou find there on the bank of the Lake of Māāit? A sceptre of flint: ‘Giver of Breath’ is its name. And what didst thou to the flame of fire and to the pillar of crystal after thou hadst buried them? I cried out after them and drew them forth: and I extinguished the fire, and I broke the pillar, and I made a Tank. Thou mayest now enter through the door of the hall of Righteousness, for thou knowest us. I allow thee not to pass by me, saith the Leaf(47.) of the Door, unless thou tell my name: “The Pointer of Truth”(48.) is thy name.
