Hail, to thee, Heart mine; Hail to thee, Whole Heart mine, Hail
to thee, Liver mine!

Hail to you, ye gods who are on the side lock, conspicuous by
your sceptres, announce my glory to Ra and convey it to
Nehabkau.

[And lo, though he be buried in the deep deep Grave, and bowed
down to the region of annihilation, he is glorified there.]

CHAPTER XXXB.

Heart mine which is that of my Mother, Whole Heart mine which is
that of my birth,

Let there be no estoppel against me through evidence, let no
hindrance be made to me by the Divine Circle; fall thou not
against me in (the) presence of him who is at the Balance.

Thou art my Genius (_Ka?_) who art by me, the Artist who givest
soundness to my limbs.

Come forth to the bliss towards which we are bound;

Let not those Ministrants[M] who deal with a man according to
the course of his life give a bad odour to my Name.

Pleasant for us, pleasant for the listener, is the joy of the
Weighing of the Words.

Let not lies be uttered in the presence of the great god
(Osiris?) Lord of Amenta.

Lo! how great art thou [as the Triumphant one.]

This chapter is found upon numerous papyri and scarabs. The
differences in the texts are many, the principal may be considered as
in the 30A and 30B, of Naville's Text.

The oldest copy we have on a scarab, is on that of king Sebak-em-saf
of the XIIIth Dynasty. In the British Museum, No. 7876. Dr. Samuel
Birch has described it[N] in his study on the "Formulas relating to
the Heart." He says: "This amulet is of unusual shape; the body of the
insect is made of a remarkably fine green jasper carved into the shape
of the body and head of the insect. This is inserted into a base of
gold in the shape of a tablet. * * * The legs of the insect are * * *
of gold and carved in relief * * * The hieroglyphs are incised in
outline, are coarse, and not very legible."[O]

other, _hatu_. _Ab_ used as connected with lively motion. The word
_hatu_ seems to include not only the heart properly to say, but also
the lungs, and by it the
