11. _Hu_ and _Sau_, sons of Tmu, and his companions in the Solar bark, are, like so many other gods, Solar appellatives. ⁂⁂⁂⁂ _Hu_ is the Nourisher, ⁂⁂⁂⁂ _Sau_, ‘the Knowing One.’ The god is also called ‘the Seer’ ⁂, ‘He who heareth’ ⁂⁂. These names are not personifications of the senses but, as in all cases, appellatives expressing attributes. 12. See Note 2 on Chapter 4. 13. The Eye (⁂⁂⁂⁂) being the Sun or Moon, the period of distress (⁂⁂) is that of obscuration or eclipse, and the hairy net (⁂⁂) which is removed is the shadow which passes for a time over the heavenly body. The explanation which M. Maspero has recently given (P.S.B.A. XIV, 314) of the word ⁂⁂⁂⁂, as connected with ⁂⁂⁂⁂ ‘health,’ receives confirmation from the scholia in the papyri, according to which Thoth not only delivered the Eye from the veil of darkness which oppressed it, but carried it off ⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂ ‘in life, health and strength, without any damage.’ 14. Mehurit is explained in the ancient scholion as ‘the Eye,’ but it is really the Sky, from which the Sun is born daily. The sign of plurality after Mehurit (if it means anything) only indicates the daily succession of the skies whence Râ is born. 15. The ‘coffined One’ ⁂⁂⁂ is of course Osiris, as it is plainly stated in the later scholia, which further add that the ‘Seven glorious ones’ who follow the coffin, or, as they read it, “their Lord,” are to be sought in the constellation of ‘the Thigh in the northern sky,’ that is in the seven stars of the Great Bear. These stars never set, but are perpetually revolving round the Pole. It is therefore evidently with the Polar Star that we must identify the coffin of Osiris. The names of the Seven Glorious ones vary according to the different authorities. And these Stars themselves receive other mythical forms; that of the Seven Cows and their Bull is recorded in the 148th chapter. Names like ‘the Red-eyed’ ⁂⁂⁂ or the ‘Red-haired’ cow ⁂⁂ seem to imply _double_ stars. The ‘Red-eyed’ is said to abide in ⁂⁂⁂ ‘house of gauze’ (perhaps a cobweb). The papyri add the important note that the “day of Come thou hither”! represents the moment “when Osiris says to Râ, Come thou hither”! or, as some read, “Come thou to me.” The speaker adds that he sees the meeting of the two gods in Amenta. 16. ⁂⁂⁂ possessor of completeness, integrity, hence ‘inviolate.’ This name is given to Osiris when restored to his first condition after having been dismembered and cut into pieces. The god is called _Râ-Tmu-Nebert’er_ in the great Harris papyrus, 15, 3.
