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

Coming forth from the swathings in the Garden of Aarru, and the Coming forth in Exultation,” is thy name. _To be said before them._ Hail to you, Fair in Form, Lord of issues, who are springing up for ever, and whose double goal is eternity: turn to me your hands, give to me food and offerings for my mouth; let me eat the _Bat_-bread, the _Shensu_-cake and the _Kefen_-cake: let my place be in the great hall in presence of the mighty god. I know that mighty god to whose nostrils ye present delicacies. Tekmu is his name: and whether he, whose name is Tekmu, turneth from the East or advanceth to the West, let his course be my course. Let me not be stopped at the Meskat; let not the Sebau have mastery over my limbs. I have bread in Pu and beer in Tepu. Let your largesses of this day be granted to me; offerings of wheat and barley, offerings of _ānta_ and of vestments, offerings of oxen, and ducks, which are offerings for life, health and strength, and also offerings for coming forth by day, in all the forms in which it pleaseth me to come forth in the Garden of Aarru. _If this chapter be known he will come forth at the Garden of Aarru; there will be given to him the_ Shensu-_cake, the measure of drink and the_ persen-_cake, and fields of wheat and barley of seven cubits (It is the followers of Horus who reap them), for he eateth of that wheat and barley, and he is made whole in his limbs through that wheat and barley, and his limbs spring up even as with those gods. And he cometh forth in the Garden of Aarru in all the forms in which it pleaseth him to come forth._ NOTES. One of the Paris papyri (_Pb_) contains a composition bearing the same title as chapter 99, and M. Naville has published it as an introduction to the usual chapter. It is no doubt of very great interest, but it is the imperfect copy of a quite independent composition, which really has no claim to be considered a part of our Book of the Dead.
