"The god Horus maketh himself to be strong like unto the Hawk which is
one thousand cubits in length, and two thousand [cubits in width] in
life; he hath equipments with him, and he journeyeth on and cometh
where his heart's throne wisheth to be in the Pools [of Hetep] and in
the cities thereof. He was begotten in the birth-chamber of the god of
the city, offerings of the god of the city are made unto him, he
