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

] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CHAPTER CXXXVIIA. _Chapter whereby a Light is kindled_(1.) _for a person._ Oh Light! let the Light be kindled for thy Ka, O Osiris Chentamenta. Let the Light be kindled for the Night which followeth the Day: the Eye of Horus which riseth at thy temple(2.): which riseth up(3.) over thee and which gathereth upon thy brow; which granteth thee its protection and overthroweth thine enemies. Undefiledly (bis) and successfully (bis): The light is kindled for Osiris Unnefer: with fresh vases and raiment like the Dawn. ------------------------------------ CHAPTER CXXXVIIB. _Chapter whereby a Light is kindled for a person._ The Eye of Horus cometh, the Light one: the Eye of Horus cometh, the Glorious one. Come thou, propitiously, shining like Rā from the Mount of Glory, and putting an end to the opposition(4.) of Sutu. The prescription(5.) of her(6.) who hath raised him up, and seized upon the Light for him, and who putteth an end to the troubles against thee, like the Mount of Glory. NOTES. The two most ancient authorities for this chapter, as it is found in the Turin _Todtenbuch_ and the late recension, are one of the four tablets of the Museum of Marseilles, published by M. Naville (_Les quatre stèles orientées du Musée de Marseille_), and the Berlin papyrus of Nechtuamon. The chapter which M. Naville has published as 137A, in the first volume of his own _Todtenbuch_, and which is taken from the papyrus of Nebseni, is manifestly, I think, not the original text, but another edition very considerably revised and enlarged. And, in imitation of the rubric of ch. 64, it concludes with a veracious statement, that it was discovered by Prince Hortatef in a secret chest in the temple of Unnut, and was brought away by the royal carriages. These texts are found among the texts preserved in the tomb of Petamenemapt (see _Zeitschr._, 1883, Taf. 1), but with various additions, and have been appropriated by the Ritual of Ammon, published by Dr. O. von Lemm. The solemn ceremony of Kindling the Light for the dead is repeatedly mentioned in the Siut inscriptions of Hapit’efae.
