rd of eternity, Unnefer, Heru-khuti
(Harmachis), whose forms are manifold, and whose attributes are majestic,
Ptah-Seker-Tem in Annu (Heliopolis), the lord of the hidden place, and the
creator of Het-ka-Ptah (Memphis) and of the gods [therein], the guide of
the underworld, whom [the gods] glorify when thou settest in Nut. Isis
embraceth thee in peace, and she driveth away the fiends from the mouth of
thy paths. Thou turnest thy face upon Amentet, and thou makest the earth
to shine as with refined copper. Those who have lain down (_i.e._, the
dead) rise up to see thee, they breathe the air and they look upon thy
face when the Disk riseth on its horizon; their hearts are at peace
inasmuch as they behold thee, O thou who art Eternity and
Everlastingness!"
