2. ⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂. These are two very difficult words, Ch.9
177. ⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂. Ch.10
3. M. Déveria has produced excellent evidence showing that ⁂ Ch.11
4. ⁂ _ȧn_ in this place as in very many others is not a preposition, Ch.12
5. The Bull of Amenta is Osiris. Bull, like Lion or Hawk, was one of the Ch.13
6. ⁂⁂⁂⁂ _T’at’at_. This word is often wrongly translated Ch.14
7. The _sebȧu_ are the enemies of the _Sun_, either as Rā or Osiris. I Ch.15
8. _Het Saru_, ‘House of the Prince,’ is the name of the great Sanctuary Ch.16
9. ⁂⁂⁂⁂ or ⁂⁂⁂, the ‘firm, stable, unalterable, Ch.17
10. _Rechit_, a locality in the north of Egypt. The mourners and weepers Ch.18
11. _Teshtesh_ is one of the names of Osiris; perhaps, as might be Ch.19
13. ⁂⁂ _Re-stau_, one of the gates of the Netherworld. Its Ch.20
14. _Sechem._ Letopolis, where the arm of Osiris had been deposited, Ch.21
15. The _Tank of Flame_, as may be inferred from the vignettes of the Ch.22
17. The speaker now assumes the persons of various priests in Ch.23
18. The text here is hopelessly corrupt. The translation given follows Ch.24
19. This is perhaps supposed to be said by the priest called ⁂⁂, Ch.25
20. One of the designations of Osiris. Perhaps the word _Ba_ should be Ch.26
21. The ⁂⁂⁂ _sem_, and the ⁂⁂⁂ _urȧ ḫerp ḥem_, were Ch.27
22. ⁂⁂⁂⁂ _Suten-ḥenen_ was called by the Greeks Ch.28

3. See note 8 on Chapter 1. Ch.39
CHAPTER IV. Ch.40
1. ⁂⁂⁂⁂, literally ‘weeping,’ ‘flood of tears,’ hence Ch.41
2. ⁂⁂⁂ or ⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂ are two divinities in opposition Ch.42
CHAPTER V. Ch.43
2. ⁂⁂⁂⁂ is the older reading, but ⁂⁂⁂ seems to be Ch.44
3. The oldest text must have had simply the ideographic ⁂, _Ae_ gives Ch.45
5. ⁂⁂⁂ signifies ‘salute,’ as in Chapter 12, 1, and 14, 1, and Ch.46
CHAPTER VI. Ch.47
1. This chapter is inscribed on the funereal statuettes, of which Ch.48
CHAPTER VII. Ch.49

4. As the sun, who is represented as an infant at dawn and as an aged Ch.61
CHAPTER XIII. Ch.62
1. The Bennu is a bird of the Heron kind. He is very commonly but, I Ch.63
2. This passage is, unfortunately, both in the ancient and the recent Ch.64
CHAPTER XIV. Ch.65
1. ⁂⁂⁂⁂ like the Latin ‘mittere’ has the sense of “let go, Ch.66
2. ⁂⁂⁂, the _secrets_, here as elsewhere in the funereal texts, Ch.67
4. The Lord of Law is in the singular, but the imperative ‘remove’ is in Ch.68
5. The word ⁂⁂ was a puzzle to the oldest transcribers. Ch.69
6. The MSS. differ hopelessly on this proper name. Ch.70
CHAPTER XV. Ch.71
1. The text of the Papyrus of Ani has been taken as the basis of the Ch.72
2. The sun was represented from the earliest period, as we may see in Ch.73
3. The stars which _set_ were called the Ch.74
4. Both the Eastern and the Western horizon are mentioned in this Ch.75
5. ⁂ _ḫeper_, like the German _Werden_, has primarily the sense of Ch.76
6. _The Land of the Gods_ and _Punit_ are the countries lying east of Ch.77
7. In many places the divine name Nut has for determinative the sign Ch.78
8. The Ant and the Abṭu are sometimes represented by the side of the Ch.79

10. The Litany here translated is that of the Turin _Todtenbuch_. It is Ch.81
11. ⁂⁂⁂ ‘the Land of Life,’ one of the names given to the realm Ch.82
12. ⁂⁂. The word ⁂⁂ _pat_ implies going _round_ like a wheel Ch.83
13. The Turin text seems better adapted for the basis of a translation Ch.84
14. A difficult passage, but the readings are unanimous. What is ⁂? Ch.85
15. Thy mother Isis. So _Ba_. The Turin text has Nut, which is Ch.86
16. _La_ gives Tatunen; _Af_, Tunen; the Turin recension Tanen, names Ch.87
18. This hymn has not yet been found in the older MSS. A text carefully Ch.88
19. ‘Chepera, father of the gods.’ Expressions like this are liable to Ch.89
CHAPTER XVI. Ch.90
CHAPTER XVI. Ch.91
CHAPTER XVI. Ch.92
Chapter 15. Ch.93
CHAPTER XVII. Ch.94
CHAPTER XVII. Ch.95
1. It would be difficult for us to imagine that the very remarkable Ch.96
CHAPTER XV. Ch.97
2. It would be impossible to find a more emphatic assertion of the Ch.98
3. ‘The kinsman of the Morrow,’ literally ‘I know the Morrow.’ The word Ch.99
4. The earliest texts have either ⁂ ‘speak,’ or ⁂⁂ ‘command.’ Ch.100
5. The Heron is the bird called ⁂⁂⁂ _bennu_, the numerous Ch.101
6. The reading of the name ⁂ is proved by the numerous variants of Ch.102
7. Note that in this scholion Horus, ‘the avenger of his father,’ calls Ch.103
8. The ⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂ _reḫit_, by whom the oblation is made, the Ch.104
9. ⁂⁂⁂⁂ _Māāāait_ is supposed to be nitre or salt, or some Ch.105

11. _Hu_ and _Sau_, sons of Tmu, and his companions in the Solar bark, Ch.107
13. The Eye (⁂⁂⁂⁂) being the Sun or Moon, the period of Ch.108
14. Mehurit is explained in the ancient scholion as ‘the Eye,’ but it is Ch.109
15. The ‘coffined One’ ⁂⁂⁂ is of course Osiris, as it is Ch.110
16. ⁂⁂⁂ possessor of completeness, integrity, hence Ch.111
17. It is most probable that the Cat became the representative of the Ch.112
18. Neḥebu-kau, ⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂ or ⁂⁂⁂⁂ is the Ch.113
19. This Devourer has the same functions as the strange animal called Ch.114
20. The ⁂⁂⁂ _Mesqȧt_ is a ⁂⁂⁂ ‘a place of scourging.’ Ch.115
21. Cher-âbat and Heliopolis like all the localities here mentioned are Ch.116
22. Uat’it is literally ‘the pale one,’ a name of the Dawn. But here the Ch.117
23. Hemen ⁂⁂⁂ is a divinity seldom, if ever, mentioned after Ch.118
