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

6. Words engraved on the funerary statuettes called ⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂

or ⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂, an abridged form of Chapter 6, for which I take Renouf’s translation. ------------------------------------ CHAPTER CLIA _bis_. Said by Anubis Amut, in his divine hall, when he puts his hands over the body of _N._, and provides him with all that belongs to him. Hail to thee, beautiful face, lord of sight, sacred eye lifted up by Ptah Sokaris, raised by Anubis, and to which Shu has given its stand. Beautiful face, which art among the gods, thy right eye is in the Sektit boat, thy left eye is in the Âtit boat; thy eyebrows are a pleasant sight among the gods. Thy front is in the protection of Anubis, thy back is pleasant to the venerable hawk. Thy fingers(1.) are well preserved in writing before the lord of Hermopolis, Thoth, the giver of written words. Thy locks are beautified before Ptah Sokaris. _N._ is welcome among the gods; he sees the great god, he is led on the good roads, he is presented with funerary offerings, his enemies are beaten down under him in the house of the Prince of Heliopolis(2.). NOTES. The words spoken by Anubis in Chapter 151 have been taken out and made into a special chapter, which in papyrus London, 9900 (_Aa_) occurs in two different forms. I called them CLIA _bis_ and CLIA _ter_, the second one being only an abridgement of the first. Vignettes and titles are not the same for these two chapters. That translated, CLIA _bis_, is the longest of the two. The title of the other one is: the _Chapter of the Mysterious Head_, and the vignette thereof consists of a mummy’s head. In comparing this chapter with the words of Anubis we had before, we find the explanation of expressions like this: thy eyebrows are with Anubis.
