together and finisheth [the day] in night. I flood [the land]
with water, and 'Qem-ur' is my name, and the garment wherewith I am
clothed is complete. Hail, thou divine prince Ati-she-f, cry out unto
those divine beings who dwell in their hair at the season when the god is
[lifted upon] the shoulder, saying: 'Come thou who [dwellest] above thy
divine abyss of water, for verily the thigh [of the sacrifice] is tied to
the neck, and the buttocks are [laid] upon the head of Amentet.' May the
Ur-urti goddesses (_i.e._, Isis and Nephthys) grant [such] gifts unto me
when my tears start from me as I see myself journeying with the divine
Tena in Abydos, and the wooden fastenings which fasten the four doors
above thee are in thy power within thy garment. Thy face is like that of a
greyhound which scenteth with his nose the place whither I go on my feet.
The god Akau transported me to the chamber(?), and [my] nurse is the

underworld, and I am he who is laid under tribute to Shu. I rise as the
Lord of Life through the beautiful law of this day, and it is their blood
and the cool water of [their] slaughter which make the union of the earth
to blossom. I make a way among the horns of all those who make themselves
strong against me, and [among] those who in secret make themselves
adversaries unto me, and who are upon their bellies. I have come as the
envoy of my Lord of lords to give counsel [concerning] Osiris; the eye
shall not absorb(39) its tears. I am the divine envoy(?) of the house of
him that dwelleth in his possessions, and I have come from Sekhem to Annu
to make known to the _Bennu_ bird therein concerning the events of the
Tuat (underworld). Hail, thou Aukert (_i.e._, underworld) which hidest thy
companion who is in thee, thou creator of forms of existence like the god
Khepera, grant tho
