The Seven Arits If [these] words be recited by the spirit when he shall come to the Seven Arits, and as
he entereth the doors, he shall neither be turned back nor repulsed before Osiris, and he
shall be made to have his being among the blessed spirits, and to have dominion among
the ancestral followers of Osiris. If these things be done for any spirit he shall have his
being in that place like a lord of eternity in one body with Osiris, and at no place shall
any being contend against him.

The Osiris the scribe Ani, whose word is truth, shall say [when he cometh to this Arit]: "I am
the Bull, the son of the ancestress of Osiris. O grant ye that his father, the Lord of his god-like
companions, may bear witness on his behalf. I have weighed the guilty in judgment. I have
brought unto his nostrils the life which is ever lasting. I am the son of Osiris, I have
accomplished the journey, I have advanced in Khert-Neter."
