I am the lord of Daylight, and I shine like Rā; he gives me life in these his risings in the East.
I come to heaven, I take hold of my place in the East.
The children of the great god nourish him to whom they have given birth, with sacred offerings.
I eat like Shu. I ease myself like Shu. The king of Egypt (Osiris) is present. Khonsu and Thoth([7]) their laws are within me. They impart warmth([8]) to the heavenly host.
Notes.
This Chapter is found only in two papyri: Paris, III, 93, and the Papyrus of Nu. Both of them are, in some parts, very incorrect. The Paris document here and there omits a line; I had to use them both for the translation.
The first part of the Chapter is only a nomenclature of the various parts of the net, very similar to 153A.
The vignette represents a drag-net drawn by three dog-headed apes.
