3. The Osiris of the first gate whom the deceased addresses seems to be the moon. The word ⁂⁂ is often used in speaking of the pale and silvery light of the moon (Naville, _Litanie du soleil_, p. 54). The last sentences are found in chapter 117, line 3. 4. Chapter 117. 5. Chapter 136B, line 14. 6. Chapter 136B, line 18. I repeat Renouf’s translation, though I differ from him in various points. For instance, I should translate: _I have closed the doors in Restau_ (_cf._ Inscr. of Piankhi, line 104). 7. An abridged version of chapter 119. 8. The rubric is taken from the Paris papyrus _Pc_. There also the vignettes vary considerably according to the fancy of the artist. In _Lc_ the gates and the gods are all alike. In _Pc_ the god is always represented in human form with a ram’s head. In the Papyrus of Ani, where there are three figures for each gate, these figures are all different. ------------------------------------ CHAPTER CXLVIII. _Giving sustenance_(1.) _to the deceased in the Netherworld, and delivering him from all evil things._(2.) Hail to thee who shinest as living soul, and who appearest on the horizon, _N._ who is in the boat knows thee; he knows thy name, he knows the names of the seven cows and of their bull; they give bread and drink to the glorified soul. You who give sustenance to the inhabitants of the West, give bread and drink to the soul of _N._, grant that he may be your follower, and be between your thighs(3.). (Then follow the names of the seven cows.) The house of the ka, of the inviolate god, The storm of the sky, which raises the gods, The hidden one in her dwelling, Chebt the mummified form of the god, The greatly beloved, with red hair, The abundant in life, the veiled one, She who is powerful in her works, or on her pedestal, The bull ... of the Netherworld. (Then the deceased calls on the four rudders of the sky, the four cardinal points.) Hail! divine form, the good one, the good rudder of the Northern sky. Hail! thou who goest round and pilotest the double earth, the good rudder of the Western sky. Hail! the shining one, who dwellest in the house of the devouring monsters, the good rudder of the Eastern sky. Hail! the inner one who dwelleth in the house of the red ones, the good rudder of the Southern sky. Give bread and drink, oxen, geese, all things good and pure to _N._ Give him sustenance, give him joy, may he rest on the earth, and may he be victorious on the horizon of Annu, in the Tuat, in the sky, and on the earth, eternally. Ye fathers and mothers, gods of the sky, and of the Netherworld, deliver _N._ from all things pernicious and evil, from all harm and evil, from the cruel huntsman and his swords, and from all evil things; and order what is to be done to him by the men, the glorious ones, and the dead, in this day, in this night, in this month, and in this year.
