eth neither herb nor
grass. Then I entered into the hidden place, and I spake with the god Set,
and my protector(?) advanced to me, and his face was clothed (or covered),
and [he] fell upon the hidden things. He entered into the Temple of
Osiris, and he looked upon the hidden things which were therein; and the
sovereign chiefs of the pylons [were] in the form of _khu_s. And the god
Anpu spake [to those who were on] both sides of him with the speech of a
man [as he] came from Ta-mera;(84) he knoweth our paths and our cities. I
make offerings(?), and I smell the odor of him as if he were one among
you, and I say unto him, I am Osiris, the scribe Ani, triumphant in peace,
triumphant! I have come, and (I) have drawn nigh to see the great gods,
and I feed upon the offerings which are among their food. I have been to
the borders [of the territory of] Ba-neb-Tettet (_i.e._, the 'Soul, the
