A great many papyri end with a picture representing Hathor of the West, in company of the goddess Thueris coming out of the mountain where the burial is to take place. The text, which is generally very corrupt, as if the writer had neglected the words for the picture, is an adoration to Hathor, which varies in its form.
The text here translated is taken from a papyrus at Leyden.
The vignette is taken from the papyrus of Ani.
