THE JUDGES IN ANU
Hail, Thoth, who madest to be true the word of Osiris against his
enemies, make thou the word of the scribe Nebseni to be true against
his enemies, even as thou didst make the word of Osiris to be true
against his enemies, in the presence of the Tchatcha Chiefs who are
with Ra and Osiris in Anu, on the night of the "things of the
night," and the night of battle, and of the fettering of the Sebau
fiends, and the day of the destruction of the enemies of Neb-er-tcher.

and Thoth]. Now the "fettering of the Sebau fiends" signifieth the
destruction of the Smaiu fiends of Set, when he wrought iniquity a
second time.

his enemies, make thou the word of the Osiris Ani to be true against
his enemies, with the great Tchatcha Chiefs who are in Tetu, on the
night of setting up the Tet in Tetu.
Now the great Tchatcha Chiefs who are in Tetu are Osiris, Isis,
Nephthys, and Horus the avenger of his father. Now the "setting up
of the Tet in Tetu" signifieth [the raising up of] the shoulder of
Horus, the Governor of Sekhem. They are round about Osiris in the band

the night of the "things of the night" in Sekhem.
Now the great Tchatcha Chiefs who are in Sekhem are
Heru-khenti-en-ariti and Thoth who is with the Tchatcha Chiefs of
Nerutef. Now the night of the "things of the night festival"
signifieth the dawn on the sarcophagus of Osiris.
his enemies, make thou the word of the Osiris the scribe Ani to be
true against his enemies, with the great Tchatcha Chiefs who are in
the double town Pe-Tep, on the night of setting up the "Senti" of
Horus, and of establishing him in the inheritance of the possessions
of his father Osiris.
