South and the North have made an offering unto thee. An
offering is brought unto thee, look upon it; an offering, hear it. There
is an offering before thee, there is an offering behind thee, there is
an offering with thee. (_Here offer a cake for the journey._)

41. Osiris Unas, the white teeth of Horus are presented unto thee so
that they may fill thy mouth. (_Here offer five bunches of onions._)

47. O Ra, the worship that is paid to thee, the worship of every kind,
shall be paid [also] to Unas. Everything that is offered to thy body
shall be offered to the Double of Unas also, and everything that is
offered to his body shall be thine. (_Here offer the table of holy
offerings._)

61. O ye oils, ye oils, which are on the forehead of Horus, set ye
yourselves on the forehead of Unas, and make him to smell sweet through
you. (_Here offer oil of cedar of the finest quality._)

62. Make ye him to be a spirit-soul (_khu_) through possession of you,
and grant ye him to have the mastery over his body, let his eyes be
opened, and let all the spirit-souls see him, and let them hear his
name. Behold, Osiris Unas, the Eye of Horus hath been brought unto thee,
for it hath been seized for thee that it may be before thee. (_Here
offer the finest Thehenu oil._)

Keb [was to] Nut. Thou didst become a spirit.

when thou wast not born.
Form thou Pepi with life and well-being; he shall not die.
