orth from the cow Mehur,(639) he sets in Netur;(640) Osiris comes
forth from Nehur like the sun, he sets in Netur like Temt. The
name of the King is the name of Ra, Ammehur,(641) the setting of
Osiris, it is his setting, Amnetur.(642)
3 The gods of the empyrean bless him, the hidden gods rejoice over
him; they say to him: thy person is the god of the country of the
dead, thy form is Teb Temt. The hidden gods speak to the royal
Osiris, they rejoice on seeing him; (they say to him:) Hail,
