Chapter 298
chapter 149 changes the third to the first person, and reads: “But I go
✦
round the heaven whilst thou art pierced with hooks,” as if Rā were
replying to the words of Sutu. This, I confess, appears to me to offer a
better sense than that of chapter 108. And I should now alter the word
“stabber” in the first line of chapter 39 to “pierced with hooks.”

Footnote 93:
On this picture (plate 11) may also be seen an interesting
illustration of chapter 39; the scorpion goddess putting the chain
upon Âpepi, in front of whom are the divinities to execute, with
swords and hooks, the decree passed against him. The children of Horus
are also seen occupied in the execution.
