horizons; the spirit of the two horizons worships him.
4 The royal Osiris receives dominion over his enemies from the
great powers of the mysterious avenger, he who reveals the
mysterious empyrean, who dissipates the darkness, who chases away
the rain, he who hurries, and who makes the blessed servants of Ra
