The Osiris Nu embarked in
thy boat, O Ra, he is furnished with thy throne, and he receiveth thy
spiritual form. The Osiris Nu travelleth over the paths of Ra at daybreak
to drive back the fiend Nebt; [he] cometh upon the flame of thy boat, [O
Ra,] upon that mighty Thigh. The Osiris Nu knoweth it, and he attaineth
unto thy boat, and behold he [sitteth] therein; and he maketh sepulchral
offerings."

[THIS CHAPTER SHALL BE] RECITED OVER A BOAT OF THE GOD RA WHICH HATH BEEN
PAINTED IN COLORS IN A PURE PLACE. AND BEHOLD THOU SHALT PLACE A FIGURE OF
THE DECEASED IN THE BOWS THEREOF, AND THOU SHALT PAINT A SEKTET BOAT UPON
THE RIGHT SIDE THEREOF, AND AN ATET BOAT UPON THE LEFT SIDE THEREOF, AND
THERE SHALL BE MADE UNTO THEM OFFERINGS OF BREAD, AND CAKES, AND WINE, AND
OIL, AND EVERY KIND OF FAIR OFFERING UPON THE BIRTHDAY OF OSIRIS. IF THESE
CEREMONIES BE PERFORMED HIS SOUL SHALL HAVE EXISTENCE, AND SHALL LIVE
FOREVER, AND SHALL NOT DIE A SECOND TIME.

The following is from the rubric to this chapter in the Saite Recension
(see Lepsius, op. cit., Bl. 53):

"[He shall know] the hidden things of the underworld, he shall penetrate
the hidden things in Neter-khertet (the underworld)."

"[This chapter] was found in the large hall(?) of the Temple under the
reign of his Majesty Hesepti, triumphant, and it was found in the cavern
of the mountain which Horus made for his father Osiris Un-nefer,
triumphant. Now since Ra looketh upon this deceased in his own flesh, he
shall look upon him as the company of the gods. The fear of him shall be
great, and the awe of him shall be mighty in the heart of men, and gods,
and _Khu_s, and the damned. He shall be with his soul and shall live
forever; he shall not die a second time in the underworld; and on the day
of weighing of words no evil hap shall befall him. He shall be triumphant
over his enemies, and his sepulchral meals shall be upon the altar of Ra
in the course of each day, day by day."

Of Living Nigh Unto Ra

[From the Papyrus of Nu (British Museum No. 10,477, sheets 17 and 18).]

THE CHAPTER OF HAVING EXISTENCE NIGH UNTO RA.(116) The overseer of the
palace, the chancellor-in-chief, Nu, triumphant, saith:

"I am that god Ra who shineth in the night. Every being who followeth in
his train shall have life in the following of the god Thoth, and he shall
give unto him the risings of Horus in the darkness. The heart of Osiris
