Chapter 17 Of The Book Of The Dead

As someone who studies ancient spell formulas (unusually the Greco-Egyptian magical papyri), I find this mention interesting not emphatically for its pleased but moreover for the format. The compound occurrences of "In the past said:" in the text beneath I imagine be a symbol of the inclusion of compound textual traditions, on the scribal principle: "Free one of these formulae can be reserved (and and so ritually efficacious), hence we could do with occupy all of them." The in the wake of mention comes from Part 17 of the List of Goodbye Forth in the Day, bowl 8 in the subject by Wasserman.

"Previously I was in my land, I came stylish my metropolitan."

"When is it?" It is the horizon of my open Atum.

I chop into pieces what was done untruthfully opposed to me, I stagnant what was done evilly opposed to me.

"When does it mean?" It deal with that the navel-string of Ani tendency be cut.

And the ill which was on me has been immature.

"When does it mean?" It deal with that I was cleansed on the day of my begin in the two carry out and well-mannered marshes which are in Heracleopolis on the day of the oblation by the natural folk to the Supreme God who is in them.

"When are they? Chaos-god" is the name of one; "Sea" is the name of the other. They are the Put together of Natron and the Put together of Maet. In the past said: "The Chaos-god governs" is the name of one; "Sea" is the name of the other. "In the past said: Marble of the Chaos-god" is the name of one; "Sea" is the name of the other. As for that Supreme God who is in them, he is Re himself.

Italicized text in the very mention represents red ink (a "rubric") second hand in the Papyrus of Ani.
