I have given thee Isis and Nephthys, they are placed on thee.
I have anointed thee with the offering of holy oil.
I have brought thee the offering by which thy face is destroyed.([2])
Notes.
This Chapter is taken also from London 9900. The vignette at the end represents Osiris sitting in a naos. Before him are the offerings of fowl and cattle which Horus presents to his father. At the beginning the deceased is seen, with raised arms; he is supposed to be Horus, and above him are written the following words:—“Adoration to Osiris, Khenta Amenta, the great god, the lord of Abydos, king for ever, prince of eternity, the venerable god in Restau, pronounced by N., I give thee grain, lord of the gods, the one god who liveth on justice. I am thy son Horus. I have come to thee. I avenge thee, I bring to thee Maat, to the place where is the circle of thy gods. Grant me to be among thy followers, and to smite thy enemies. I have established for thee thy food offerings on the earth for ever.”
This Chapter was first published and translated in the Zeitschrift, Vol. XIII, p. 83.
[1.] These words are repeated before every one of the following sentences.
[2.] This sentence is abridged. It is given in full by the Ritual at Abydos: “I have anointed thy head with the oil of the brow of Horus; if it is destroyed there (on his brow) he is destroyed as god; i.e., his divinity is destroyed.”
