The Egyptian Book of the dead by P. Le Page Renouf and Edouard Naville

_Chapter whereby the person is not devoured by a Serpent in the Netherworld._ Oh Shu, here is Tattu, _and conversely_, under the wig(1.) of Hathor. They scent(2.) Osiris. Here is the one who is to devour me. They wait apart.(3.) The serpent Seksek passeth over me. Here are wormwood bruised(4.) and reeds. Osiris is he who prayeth that he may be buried. The eyes of the Great One are bent down, and he doth for thee the work of cleansing;(5.) marking out what is conformable to law and balancing the issues.(6.) NOTES. The translator of this chapter cannot pretend to do more than give an accurate meaning to each word. The true sense of the chapter must have been lost when the earliest copies known to us were written.
