CHAPTER LXXV.

_Chapter whereby one cometh to Heliopolis and receiveth a seat there._


I have come out of the Tuat: I am come from the ends of the Earth,
lighting up the Tank, whither the desires of them who bring salutation
guide me. I pass through the noble dwellings of those who are coffined.
I open the dwelling of Remrem, I reach the house of Achsesef.(1.) I am
led on to the noble mysteries, and I enter into the house of Kemkem.

[The Tet amulet(2.) layeth its two hands upon me and assigneth me to its
sister, and the custody of its mother, Kehkehit, who setteth me upon the
Eastern path of Heaven upon which Rā ariseth and mounteth on high each
day.

May I too arise, and be led on, and assume the mummied form as a god,
and let them set me upon that noble path] whereon Thoth travelleth when
he appeaseth the two Combatants(3.) as he goeth to Pu and advanceth to
Tepu.

NOTES.

1. These gods are not often mentioned. But we are told in the
inscriptions of Rech-ma-rā (_Mission Arch. du Caire_, V, 127) that
Achsesef is master of the (⁂⁂) great hall of the Prince of those
in Amenta. _Cf._ _Todt._, 142, 13 and 21.

2. _The Tet amulet_, ⁂, has a chapter of its own, chapter 156.
Divinity was supposed to reside in this and the other religious symbols,
which are often represented in pictures with hands and feet. The annexed
Vignette is from the Louvre papyrus III, 93, at ch. 93.

The part of this chapter which is within brackets is ancient, but is
omitted in late copies.

3. _The two Combatants._ Sut and Horus.
