Thou washest thy face at the mouth of the stream of Cherāba, thou art welcome to the great gods of Pu and Tepu;(11.) thou seest Thoth conversing with Rā in the sky. Thou goest out and goest in into Anit, thou conversest with the Rehiu. Thy _ka_ is with thee, that thou mayest rejoice; and the heart of thy birth; thou wakest thy ... are happy; the cycle of the gods give pleasure to thy heart. Thou goest out (and thou seest) four loaves for thee from Sechem, and four loaves from Hermopolis; thou goest out and there are four (loaves) from Heliopolis on the table of the lord of the two earths. Thou wakest in the night, and thou art welcome to the lords of Heliopolis. Hu(12.) is in thy mouth, thy feet do not turn back, there is life in thy limbs. Thou seizest the _sma_(13.) at Abydos and thou conductest victuals to the great gods and vases of drink to those who are above the clouds in the festival of Osiris, on the morning of the Uak festival; the _hersheta_ priest decks thee with gold; thy garment is well arranged with byssus; the Nile rises over thy body; thou art glorious(14.) ... thou drinkest on the shore of the lake; thou art welcome to the gods who are in it; thou comest forth in the sky with the gods who bring Maat to Rā, thou art brought before the cycle of the gods, thou art like one of them. Thou art the gander among the geese which are offered to Ptah Anebefres. NOTES. This Chapter and the following are found in one papyrus only, Paris, III, 93, a document more remarkable for the beauty of its vignettes than for the correctness of the text. Both Chapters refer to ⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂ the funereal bed or couch on which the deceased will lie like Osiris. None of them has a vignette. As in the course of these chapters there is no mention of the bed itself, we must suppose that they were read while the bed was raised or arranged. The translation of this text is particularly difficult, and often conjectural, owing to our papyrus having no other document to compare it with. 1. All this bears a great resemblance to Chapter 26. 2. In landing, see Chapter 99. 3. ⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂. I have kept Renouf’s translation, “strength,” but I believe the sense is the same as before: “solid ground, dry land, continent (Feste, Brugsch),” as we find in this sentence from the Stele at Abusimbel: ⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂ “the mountains, the water, and the continents are shaken by thy name.” 4. For the mountain where the burial of Osiris takes place, see vignette to Chapter 186. 5. I translate as if there was ⁂⁂. 6. “Mighty,” Renouf’s translation. I should prefer “distinguished, eminent,” see note 2, Chapters 141-3. 7. ⁂⁂⁂ I read here ⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂. 8. The light kindled for his _ka_ (see Chapter 132, A and B), and which gives life to the _ka_. The lighting of a lamp is a symbol of the birth (Lep., _Denkm._, III, 74 c.) and accompanies it.
