without pain, without injury, like unto Ra for ever and ever.

13 Oh Strider, coming out of An',

Oh Nostril, coming out of Sesennu1 2,

the Osiris N. hath not been exacting.

Oh Devourer of the Eye, coming out of Kerti,

the Osiris N. hath not obtained anything by theft. Oh Impure of visage, coming out of Rusta,

the Osiris N. hath not been angry.

Oh Lion-gods, coming forth from heaven,

the Osiris N. hath not committed any sin by reason of hardness of heart (?).

Oh Fiery-Eyed, coming out of Sechem,

the Osiris N. hath not been weak.

14 Oh ye gods who dwell in the Lower Heaven, hearken unto the voice of Osiris N.

He is near unto you.

There is no fault in him.

No informer riseth up against him.

He liveth in the truth.

He doth nourish himself with truth.

The gods are satisfied with ail that he hath done.

He hath given food to the hungry, drink to the thirsty, clothes to the naked.

He hath given the sacred food to the gods, the funeral repasts to the pure Spirits.

No complaint hath been made against him before any of the gods.

Let him enter (then) into the Lower Heaven without being repulsed.

Let him follow Osiris, with the gods of Kerti.
