Saith Osiris, the scribe Ani: (10) 44 Hail, Tmu! What manner [of land] is this " into which I have come? It hath not water, it hath not air; it is deep unfathom- 4i able, (11) it is black as the blackest night, and men wander helplessly therein. " In it a man may not live in quietness of heart; nor may the longings of love be 44 satisfied therein. (12) But let the state of the shining ones be given unto me for 44 water and for air and for the satisfying of the longings of love, and let quiet- 44 ness of heart be given unto me for bread (13) and for ale. The god Tmu hath 44 decreed that I shall see his face, and that I shall not suffer from the things which 44 pain him. May the gods hand on (14) their thrones for millions of years. 44 Thy throne hath descended unto thy son Horus. The god Tmu hath decreed 4; that his course shall be among the holy princes. (15) In truth, he shall rule 44 over thy throne, and he shall be heir of the throne of the dweller in the Lake of 44 Fire. It hath been decreed that in me he shall see his likeness, and that (16) 44 my face shall look upon the lord Tmu. How long then have I to live? It is 44 decreed that thou shalt live for millions of millions of years, a life of millions of 44 years. (17) May it be granted that 1 pass on unto the holy princes, for 1 am 44 doing away with all that I did when this earth came into being from Nu(i8), and 44 when it sprang from the watery abyss even as it was in the days of old. I 44 am Fate (?) and Osiris, and I have changed my form into the likeness of divers 44 serpents (19). Man knoweth not, and the gods cannot see, the two-fold beauty 44 which I have made for Osiris, who is greater than all the gods. I have granted 44 that he [shall rule] in the mount of the dead (20). Verily his son Horus is seated 44 upon the throne of the dweller in the double Lake of Fire, as his heir. I have 44 set his throne in (21) the boat of millions of years. Horus is established upon 44 his throne, amid the friends [of Osiris] and all that belonged unto him. Verily 44 the soul of Sut, which (22) is greater than all the gods, hath departed to 44 [Amenta]. May it be granted that I bind his soul in the divine boat (23) at my 44 will O my Osiris, thou hast done for me that which thy father B.D. Chap. CLXXV.] THE PAPYRUS OF ANT. 343 11 Ra did for thee. May I abide upon the earth lastingly; (24) may I keep " possession of my throne; may my heir be strong; may my tomb and my friends " who are upon earth flourish; (25) may my enemies be given over to destruc- " tion and to the shackles of the goddess Serq! I am thy son, and Ra is my " father (26). For me likewise hast thou made life, strength and health. Horus 11 is established upon his throne. Grant that the days of my life may come unto " worship and honour.' 1 Appendix: From the fragmentary copy of this chapter which M. Naville has published in his Todtenbuch, Bd. I., Bll. 198, 199, it is clear that the text given in the papyrus of Ani forms only about one-half of it, and that its contents refer to the glorious state of the deceased, who lives again in the form of Horus.

Text [Chapter CXXV.]: (i) The Chapter of entering into the hall of Double Right and Truth: a hymn of praise to Osiris, the dweller in Amentet. Osiris, the scribe Ani, triumphant, saith: (2) " I have come and I " have drawn nigh to see thy beauties; my two hands are raised in adoration " of thy name Right and Truth. I have drawn nigh unto the place where the 41 acacia tree groweth not, (3) where the tree thick with leaves existeth not, and " where the ground yieldeth neither herb nor grass. And I have entered in " unto the place of secret and hidden things, (4) I have held converse with the 44 god Sut Osiris, the scribe Ani, hath entered into the House of " Osiris, and he hath seen the hidden (5) and secret things which are therein. The 44 holy rulers of the pylons are in the form of shining ones. (6) Anubis spake 44 unto him with the speech of man when he came from Ta-mera, saying, * He " knoweth our paths and our cities, I have been pacified, (7) and the smell of him " is to me even as the smell of one of you.' " Ani saith unto him: " I am Osiris, the scribe Ani, triumphant in peace, 44 triumphant! (8) I have drawn nigh to behold the great gods, and I feed upon the 44 meals of sacrifice whereon their kas feed. I have been to the boundaries [of the B.D. Chap. CXXV.— Introduction] THE PAPYRUS OF AM. 345 44 lands] (9) of the Ram, the lord of Tattu, and he hath granted that I may come 44 forth as a bennu bird and that I may have the power of speech. I have passed 44 through the river-flood. I have made (10) offerings with incense. 1 have made 44 my way by the side of the thick-leaved tree of the children (?). I have been in 44 Abtu in the House of Satet. (1 1) I have flooded and I have sunk the boat of my " enemies. I have sailed forth upon the Lake in the neshem boat. I have seen 44 the noble (12) ones of Kam-ur. I have been in Tattu, and I have constrained 44 myself to silence. I have set the divine Form upon his two feet. (13) I have 44 been with the god Pa-tep-tu-f, and I have seen the dweller in the Holy Temple. " I have entered into the House (14) of Osiris, and I have arrayed myself in the 44 apparel of him who is therein. I have entered into Re-stau, and I have beheld 44 the hidden things (15) which are therein. I have been swathed, but 1 found for 44 myself a thoroughfare. I have entered into An-aarut-f, and I have clothed my 44 body with the apparel (16) which is therein. The antu unguent of women hath 44 been given unto me Verily, Sut spake unto me (17) the things 44 which concern himself, and I said, 4 Let the thought of the trial of the balance by 44 thee be even within our hearts/ " The majesty of the god Anubis saith: (18) 44 Dost thou know the name of 4C this door to declare it unto me?" Osiris, the scribe Ani, triumphant, (19) triumphant in peace, saith: " * Driven away of Shu ' is the name of this (20) door." Saith the majesty of the god Anubis: (21) 44 Dost thou know the name of the 44 upper (22) leaf and of the lower leaf thereof?" [Osiris, the scribe Ani, triumphant in peace saith]: 44 4 Lord of right and truth, [standing] (23) upon his 44 two feet* is the name of the upper (24) leaf, and 4 Lord of might and power, 44 dispenser of (25) cattle ' [is the name of the lower leaf]." [The majesty of the god Anubis saith]: " Pass thou, for thou knowest [the names] (26), O Osiris, the 44 scribe, teller (27) of the divine offerings of all the gods of Thebes, Ani, 44 triumphant, lord to be revered."
Appendix: The usual introduction to the CXXVth Chapter reads (see Naville, Todtenbuch, Bd. I., Bl. 133) as follows: — I. (1) The following shall be said by a man when he cometh unto the Hall of Double Right and Truth, wherein he is purged (2) of all the sins which he hath done, and wherein he seeth the faces of all the gods: 41 Hail to thee, great god, the lord of Right and Truth! I have come unto thee, O my lord, " (3) and I have drawn nigh that I may look upon thy beauties. I know thee, and I know 14 the names of the forty-two gods who dwell with thee in this (4) Hall of Double Right u and Truth, and that they may set the sinners in the gives, who live and who feed upon " their blood on the day (5) when the natures of men are accounted before Un-neferu.

u In very truth ' Rekhti-merti-f-ent-Maat ' is thy name. Verily (6) I have come unto " thee, and I bring before thee Right and Truth. For thy sake I have rejected wicked- " ness. I have done no hurt unto man, nor have I wrought harm unto beasts. I " have committed no crime (7) in the place of Right and Truth. I have had no know- " ledge of evil; nor have I acted (8) wickedly. Each day have I laboured more than u was required of me. (9) My name hath not come forth to the boat of the Prince. " I have not despised God. (10) I have not caused misery; nor have I worked affliction. 11 I have done not (11) that which God doth abominate. I have caused no wrong to be " done to the servant by his master. I have (12) caused none to feel pain. I have made " [no man] to weep. (13) I have not committed murder; nor have I ever bidden any man " to slay on my behalf. I have not wronged the people.

I have not caught fishes (19) with bait " of their own bodies. I have not turned back water at its springtide. I have not " broken the channel of running water. I have not quenched the flame (20) in its u fulness. I have not disregarded the seasons for the offerings which are appointed; " I have not turned away the cattle set apart for sacrifice.

In the Nebseni papyrus (Naville, Todtenbuch, Bd. I., Bll. 137, 138), the CXXVth Chapter ends as follows: — (2) " Homage to you, O ye gods, I know you, (3) and I know your names. Cast " me not down to your (4) knives of slaughter, and bring not my wickedness into the " presence of the god whom ye follow, (5) and let not the time of my failings come " before you.
