Ox of Seb' is thy name." See above, l. 30. 106 Here the Papyrus repeats a passage given above. 107 The words "sema-kua" are superfluous. 108 After "Osiris" a Paris papyrus adds, "He shall come forth in whatsoever form he is pleased to appear as a living soul forever and ever." 109 This chapter has no title either in the Theban or in the Saite Recension. 110 The words in brackets are added from Brit. Mus. No. 9,913. _ 111 I.e._, districts or divisions of the underworld. 112 A name of the city of Abydos. 113 "The Book of making the soul to live forever. [To be recited] on the day of embarking in the boat of Ra to pass over to the chiefs of flame." See Naville, op. cit., Bd. II. p. 338. 114 Read "Shu" instead of "maat." 115 Or, "images." 116 Or, "The chapter of making the way into heaven nigh unto Ra." 117 In the Saite Recension (see Lepsius, op. cit., Bl. 54) the house is said to be "in the underworld." 118 Another papyrus adds the words, "I have advanced, and behold, I have not been found light, and the Balance is empty of my affair." 119 The Papyrus of Nebseni has, "The Osiris Nebseni is the lord of transformations in the presence of the hawk of gold." 120 The Papyrus of Ani has "seven cubits." 121 The words "or thy father" are from the Papyrus of Ani. 122 These words are from the Brocklehurst Papyrus (see Naville, op. cit., Bd. II. p. 334). There are three copies of this rubric extant, and no one of them is complete! 123 In the Papyrus of Nebseni the title of this chapter reads: "The Chapter of embarking in the boat of Ra and of being with those who are in his following." 124 Read "god Osiris"? 125 Added from the Papyrus of Nebseni. 126 In the Papyrus of Nebseni the deceased is here addressed. 127 This name, frequently found in the letters, is the Egyptian "Neb-mat-ra," or Amenophis III. 128 As the Amorite "z" or "s" seems sometimes to represent the Hebrew "sh," this name might be compared with the Philistine "Achish." 129 "Katna" is the present Katanah, on the south of Hermon, west of Damascus. 130 Others read "Nuhasse." It was a Hittite country, and appears to be that of Mer'ash, under the Taurus, where a number of important Hittite remains are found (see especially B. 31, 32). 131 Throughout the letter
