bandages, even the bandages of Set which fetter my mouth; and may the god
Tem hurl them at those who would fetter [me] with them, and drive them
back. May my mouth be opened, may my mouth be unclosed by Shu with his
iron knife wherewith he opened the mouths of the gods. I am the goddess
Sekhet, and I sit upon [my] place in the great wind(?) of heaven. I am the
great goddess Sah who dwelleth among the Souls of Annu (Heliopolis). Now
as concerning every charm and all the words which may be spoken against
me, may the gods resist them, and may each and every one of the company of
the gods withstand them."

[From the Papyrus of Nu (British Museum No, 10,477, sheet 5).]

THE CHAPTER OF MAKING A MAN TO POSSESS MEMORY IN THE UNDERWORLD. The
chancellor-in-chief, Nu, triumphant, the overseer of the palace, the son
