The Chapter Of The Victory Over Enemies.

[From the Papyrus of Nebseni (British Museum No. 9,900, sheet 12).]

"Hail, Thoth, who didst make Osiris to triumph over his enemies, snare
thou the enemies of Osiris, the scribe Nebseni, the lord of piety, in the
presence of the great sovereign princes of every god and of every goddess;
in the presence of the great sovereign princes who are in Annu
(Heliopolis) on the night of the battle and of the overthrow of the
Sebau-fiend in Tattu; on the night of making to stand up the double Tet in
Sekhem (Letopolis); on the night of the things of the night in Sekhem, in
Pe, and in Tepu;(18) on the night of the stablishing of Horus in the
heritage of the things of his father in the double land of Rekhti(?); on
the night when Isis maketh lamentation at the side of her brother Osiris
in Abtu (Abydos); on the night of the Haker festival of the distinguishing
[between] the dead (_i.e._, the damned) and the _Khu_s on the path of the
dead (_i.e._, the damned); on the night of the judgment of those who are
to be annihilated at the great [festival of] the ploughing and the turning
up of the earth in Naare-rut-f(19) in Re-stau; and on the night of making
Horus to triumph over his enemies. Horus is mighty, the northern and
southern halves of heaven rejoice, Osiris is content thereat and his heart
is glad. Hail, Thoth, make thou to triumph Osiris, the scribe Nebseni,
over his enemies in the presence of the sovereign princes of every god and
every goddess, and in the presence of you, ye sovereign princes who passed
judgment on Osiris behind the shrine."

form. The words, "Hail, Thoth, make Osiris Auf-ankh, triumphant, to
triumph over his enemies even as thou didst make Osiris to triumph over
his enemies," which are wr
