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 have
come daily, I have come daily. I have made myself a way. I have advanced over that which
was created by Anpu (Anubis). I am the Lord of the Urrt Crown. I am the possessor [of the
knowledge of] the words of magical power, I am the Avenger according to law, I have
avenged [the injury to] his Eye. I have defended Osiris. I have accomplished my journey. The
Osiris Ani advanceth with you with the word which is truth."
