THE PAPYRUS OF ANI
THE EGYPTIAN BOOK OF THE DEAD
Translated by E.A. Wallis Budge
Part 22
Now the great Tchatcha Chiefs who are in Pe-Tep are Horus, Isis,
Kesta (Mesta) and Hapi. Now the "setting up of the 'Senti' of Horus"
hath reference to the words which Set spake to his followers, saying
"Set up the Senti."
Hail, Thoth, who didst make the word of Osiris to be true against
his enemies, make thou the word of the Osiris the scribe Ani to be
true, in peace, against his enemies, with the great Tchatcha Chiefs
who are in the Lands of the Rekhti (Taiu-Rekhti), in the night when
Isis lay down, and kept watch to make lamentation for her brother
Osiris.
Now the great Tchatcha Chiefs who are in Taiu-Rekhti are Isis,
Horus, Kesta (Mesta) [Anpu and Thoth].
Hail, Thoth, who didst make the word of Osiris true against his
enemies, make thou the word of Osiris the scribe Ani, whose word is
truth, in peace, to be true against his enemies, with the great
Tchatcha Chiefs who are in Abtu, on the night of the god Haker, when
the dead are separated, and the spirits are judged, and when the
procession taketh place in Teni.
Now the great Tchatcha Chiefs who are in Abtu are Osiris, Isis,
and Up-uat.
his enemies, make thou the word of the Osiris, the scribe and assessor
of the sacred offerings which are made to all the gods, Ani, to be
true against his enemies, with the Tchatcha Chiefs who examine the
dead on the night of making the inspection of those who are to be
annihilated.
Now the great Tchatcha Chiefs who are present at the examination
of the dead are Thoth, Osiris, Anpu and Asten (read Astes). Now the
inspection (or, counting) of those who are to be annihilated
signifieth the shutting up of things from the souls of the sons of
revolt.
enemies, make thou the word of the Osiris the scribe Ani to be true
against his enemies, with the great Tchatcha Chiefs who are present at
the digging up of the earth [and mixing it] with their blood, and of
making the word of Osiris to be true against his enemies.
