Appendix
(From the Papyrus of Nu)
[These words] shall be said when Ra appeareth over [figures] of these gods written in
colour upon a tablet, and thou shalt place offerings of tchefau food before them, cakes,
ale, flesh, geese, and incense. They shall cause the deceased to enjoy the "offerings
which come forth at the word [of command]" before Ra; and they shall give the
deceased an abundance of food in Khert-Neter, and shall deliver him from every evil
thing whatsoever. And thou shalt not recite this Book of Un-Nefer in the presence of
anyone except thine own self. If this be done for the deceased Ra shall be a rudder for
him, and shall be to him a strong protecting power, and he shall destroy all his enemies
for him in Khert-Neter, and in heaven, and upon earth, and in every place
whereinsoever he may enter, and he shall enjoy celestial food regularly and continually
for ever.
