I come from the Lake of Flame, from the Lake of Fire, and from the Field of Flame, and I live....
I stand erect in the Bark which the god is piloting ... at the head of Aarru,([5]) and the Achmiu Stars open to me ... and my fellow citizens([6]) present to me the sacred cakes with flesh.
Notes.
There is but one papyrus of the older period which contains any portion of this chapter, and it does so very imperfectly.
On referring to M. Naville’s edition it will be seen that not only the title but the greater part of the chapter is destroyed. The later copies have texts so different from the original form, that it is unsafe to attempt a restoration except within very strict limits.
It is absurd to attempt a translation from a mixture of divergent and, at the same time, incorrect texts.
[1.] See note to chapter 74. The Stream which is so conspicuous but cannot be reached is the Milky Way, and the Leg is the constellation Cassiopeia in the Northern Sky.
