Appendix
(In the Papyrus of Nu, Sheet 14, the Chapter ends with the following.)
Exalted art thou on thy throne, O Osiris! Thou hast heard fair things, O Osiris! Thy strength is
vigorous, O Osiris! Thy head is fastened on thy body, O Osiris! Thy neck is made firm, O
Osiris! Thy heart is glad, [O Osiris!]. Thy speech is made effective, O Osiris! Thy princes
rejoice Thou art established the Bull in Amentet. Thy son Horus hath ascended thy trrone, and
all life is with him. Millions of years minister unto him, and millions of years hold him in fear.
The Company of the Gods are his servants, and they fold him in fear. The god Tem, the
Governor, the only One among the gods, hath spoken, and his word passeth not away. Horus
is both the divine food and the sacrifice. He made haste to gather together [the members of] of
his father. Horus is his deliverer. Horus is his deliverer. Horus hath sprung from the essence of
his divine father and from his decay. He hath become the Governor of Egypt. The gods shall
work for him, and they shall toil for him for million of years. He shall make millions of years to
live through his Eye, the only one of its lord, Nebertcher.]
(From the Turin Papyrus, Bl. XXX)
Exalted is thy throne, O Osiris. Thou hearest well, O Osiris. Thy strength flourisheth, O Osiris.
I have fastened thy head [on thy] body for thee. I have stablished thy throat, the throne of the
joy of thy heart. Thy words are stable. Thy shenit princes are glad. Thou art stablished as the
Bull of Amentet. Thy son Horus hath ascended thy throne. All life is with him. Millions of years
work for him. The Company of the Gods fear him. Tem, the One Power of the Gods, hath
spoken, and what he hath said is not changed, Hetu Aabi. Horus hath stood up. I have gone
about collecting his father. Horus hath delivered his father. Horus hath delivered [his mother].
My mother is Horus. My brother is Horus. My uncle is Horus. I have come. Horus followeth
his father.... there the dirt of his head. The gods shall serve him. Millions of years...... in his
Eye, the Only One of its Lord, Neb-er-tcher.
