Introductory.

The An-māut saith:—

I come to you, ye hosts of angels in Heaven, upon Earth and in the World below! I bring to you N, void of offence towards any of the righteous, grant that he may be with you daily.

Glory to God, Lord of Restau, and to the great angels who are in the World below. Here is N who saith:—Hail to Thee, Lord of the Unseen Realm, Thou who presidest in Abydos, I come to Thee with righteousness; without sin upon me. I am not knowingly a speaker of wrong; I am not given to duplicity; grant me bread, the right of appearance at the tables of the Lords of Truth, entering in and going out of the Netherworld, and that my soul may not suffer repulse in its devotion to God, whose signs are the sun and the moon, for ever.

The Se-meri-f saith:—

I come to you, O hosts of angels in Restau, and I bring to you N. Grant to him bread, water, air and an allotment in the Sechit-hotepu among the righteous.

Glory to God, the Lord of Eternity, and to the hosts of angels in Restau. Here is N and he saith:—I come to Thee, I know Thy will, and I am furnished with what Thou hast granted in the Unseen. Grant me an abiding place in the Netherworld by the Lords of Truth, my permanent allotment in the Sechit-hotepu, and the receiving of provisions in Thy presence.
