head; and her uraei of the South and of the North are upon thy brow;
she taketh up her place before thee. The god Thoth is stablished in the
bows of thy boat to destroy utterly all thy foes. Those who are in the
Tuat (underworld) come forth to meet thee, and they bow in homage as they
come toward thee, to behold [thy] beautiful Image. And I have come before
thee that I may be with thee to behold thy Disk every day. May I not be
shut up in [the tomb], may I not be turned back, may the limbs of my body
be made new again when I view thy beauties, even as [are those of] all thy
favored ones, because I am one of those who worshipped thee [whilst I
lived] upon earth. May I come in unto the land of eternity, may I come
even unto the everlasting land, for behold, O my lord, this hast thou

And lo, Osiris Ani triumphant in peace, the triumphant one, saith: "Homage

with strides dost thou in one little moment pass over the spaces which
would need hundreds of thousands and millions of years [for man to pass

end to the hours of the night, and thou dost count them, even thou; thou

Osiris, the scribe Ani, triumphant, declareth his praise of thee when thou
