my years of life, and multitudes of months over and above my months of
life, and multitudes of days over and above my days of life, and
multitudes of nights over and above my nights of life; and grant that I
may come forth and shine upon my statue; and [grant me] air for my nose,

in the horizon on the day when evil-doing and wrong are justly assessed."

IF THIS CHAPTER BE RECITED FOR THE DECEASED HE SHALL BE STRONG UPON EARTH
BEFORE RA, AND HE SHALL HAVE A COMFORTABLE BURIAL (OR TOMB) WITH OSIRIS,
AND IT SHALL BE OF GREAT BENEFIT TO A MAN IN THE UNDERWORLD. SEPULCHRAL
