Renouf translates ⁂⁂⁂ “domain” (p. 208). Dr. Budge keeps the word _aat_, and considers them as the divisions of the Elysian fields. Pierret translates _demeure_, Brugsch _siège_, _demeure_, _habitation_. I shall adopt Renouf’s word, though _residence_ or _habitation_ seems to me preferable. An ⁂⁂⁂ is an enclosed space which has inhabitants described or mentioned in the text. The deceased calls first on the domain, and often in the same breath goes over to the inhabitants without any transition. 1. The second domain is the horizon. The text of the vignette says: the god who is in it is Harmachis. The text to this domain being a repetition of chapter 109, I adopt Renouf’s translation (p. 181.) 2. The third domain is called “that of the glorious ones.” 3. The moon. _Ab_ reads: ⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂ “on the face of the sun, and on the face of the moon.” 4. The deceased speaks of himself as a magician who can cover the head of the serpent without being hurt. The eyes of the serpent, which have the power of paralyzing, of making impotent (see seventh domain), are given him; the result is, that when he goes to the mountain on which the serpent shows his strength, this strength collapses, as the deceased says: thy strength is in my hand; I am he who lifts, who takes away the strength. 5. Renouf generally translates ⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂ tunnels. See p. 126, and Proc., 1893, p. 385; but here we must adopt the other sense, serpent or worms. Copt. ⲁⲕⲟⲣⲓ.] 6. Or _Secher-remu_, he who knocks down the worm, or he who knocks down the fishes.1 7. _Ka_ and serpent have killed each other. 8. The lynx (see note, p. 82, on chapter 34). It seems to be the cat who is represented in the vignettes of chapter 17, cutting off the head of the serpent. 9. This is a chapter found on the sarcophagus of Amam in the British Museum; it has the title ⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂, “taking the form of a vulture” (see p. 139): I should rather say a goose. 10. The ninth domain, Akset or Aksi, has the form of a vase, which a crocodile called Maatetf touches with his snout. 11. The words are obscure. I believe them to mean: Akset was made such as it is, in order that, &c. 12. The tenth domain is called that which is at the mouth of the stream. 13. I cannot translate the following words. 14. The destruction of the name means absolute destruction of the person. 15. I have kept the reading Cher-āba, which Renouf advocates, in opposition to Cher-aha, adopted by most egyptologists. 16. I believe this name, which is spelt differently in each papyrus, to be the origin of the Κρῶφι and Μῶφι, these two rocks mentioned by Herodotus (II, 28), out of which issues the Niles. There are hardly any variants in the vignettes which accompany the text of the chapter of the domains. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ PLATE LIV.
