3. The juice or gum just mentioned, in which the Tat is dipped. ------------------------------------ CHAPTER CLVI. _Chapter of the buckle of carnelian, which is put on the neck of the deceased._ The blood of Isis, the virtue of Isis; the magic power of Isis, the magic power of the Eye are protecting this the Great one; they prevent any wrong being done to him. _This Chapter is said on a buckle of carnelian dipped into the juice of ankhamu, inlaid into the substance of the sycamore-wood, and put on the neck of the deceased._ _Whoever has this Chapter read to him, the virtue of Isis protects him; Horus the son of Isis rejoices in seeing him, and no way is barred to him, unfailingly._ NOTES. M. Maspero, who made a special study of this Chapter (_Le chapitre de la boucle, Comptes Rendus de l’Acad. des Inscr. et Bell. Lettres_, 1871), has shown that there are several recensions. This, which is probably the oldest, is taken from the papyrus of Nebseni, with a few additions from texts of the same date. The protective power of the buckle is shown in the vignette of Chapter 93, where a buckle with human hands grasps the deceased by the left arm, and prevents him from going towards the East. ------------------------------------ CHAPTER CLVII. _Chapter of the vulture of gold, put on the neck of the deceased._ Isis has arrived; she hovers over the dwellings, and she searches all the hidden abodes of Horus when he comes out of the Northern marshes, knocking down him whose face is evil. She causes him to join the Bark, and grants him the sovereignty over the worlds. When he has fought a big fight, he decrees what must be done in his honour; he causes fear of him to arise, and he creates terror. His mother, the Great one, uses her protective power, which she has handed over to Horus. _Said on a vulture of gold. If this Chapter is written on it, it protects the deceased, the powerful one, on the day of the funeral, undeviatingly for times infinite._ NOTES. This and the two following Chapters have not been found in the old recension. They are taken from the Turin text. The vignette represents a vulture with outspread wings, which is often found made of cartonnage on the mummies. The same bird is often painted on the ceilings of tombs or temples. ------------------------------------ CHAPTER CLVIII. _The Chapter of the collar of gold, put on the neck of the deceased._ O my father! my brother! my mother Isis! I am unveiled and I am seen. I am one of the unveiled ones, who see Seb. _Said on a collar of gold, on which this Chapter has been written, and which is put on the neck of the deceased, the day of his burial._ ------------------------------------
