be afraid of me, and may they fight for me in their habitations. I, even I, am the _Khu_ who dwelleth with the divine _Khu_, whom the god Tem himself hath created, and who hath come into being from the blossom (_i.e._, the eyelashes) of his eye; he hath made to have existence, and he hath made to be glorious (_i.e._, to be _Khu_s), and he hath made mighty thereby those who have their existence along with him. Behold, he is the only One in Nu, and they sing praises (or do homage) unto him [when] he cometh forth from the horizon, and the gods and the _Khu_s who have come into being along with him ascribe [the lordship of] terror unto him." "I am one of those worms(?) which the eye of the Lord, the only One, hath created. And behold, when as yet Isis had not given birth to Horus, I had germinated, and had flourished, and I had become aged, and I had become greater than those who dwelt with the divine _Khu_, and who had come into being along with him.

I have given unto thee(50) the _nemmes_ crown through the double Lion-god that thou mayest pass onward and mayest come to the heavenly path, and that those who dwell in the uttermost parts of the horizon may see thee, and that the gods of the underworld may see thee and may fight for thee in their habitations. And of them is the Auhet.(51) The gods, each and all of them, who are the warders of the shrine of the Lord, the only One, have fallen before my words. Hail! He that is exalted upon his tomb is on my side, and he hath bound [upon my head] the _nemmes_ crown, by the decree of the double Lion-god on my behalf, and the god Auhet hath prepared a way
