Appendix
(From the Turin Papyrus)
ANOTHER CHAPTER WHICH IS TO BE RECITED WHEN THE MOON
RENEWETH ITSELF ON THE DAY OF THE MONTH [WHEREON IT DOETH
THIS].
Osiris unfettereth the storm-cloud in the body of heaven, and is unfettered himself; Horus is
made strong happily each day. He whose transformations are many hath had offerings made
unto him at the moment, and he hath made an end of the storm which is in the face of the
Osiris, Auf-ankh, whose word is truth. Verily, he cometh, and he is Ra in journeying, and he is
the four celestial gods in the heavens above. The Osiris Auf-ankh, whose word is truth,
cometh forth in his day, and he embarketh among the tackle of the boat.
If this Chapter be known by the deceased he shall become a perfect Spirit-soul in
Khert-Neter, and he shall not die a second time, and he shall eat his food side by side
with Osiris. If this Chapter be known by the deceased upon earth, he shall become like
unto Thoth, and he shall be adored by those who live. He shall not fall headlong at the
moment of the intensity of the royal flame of the goddess Bast, and the Great Prince
shall make him to advance happily.
