THE PAPYRUS OF ANI
THE EGYPTIAN BOOK OF THE DEAD
Translated by E.A. Wallis Budge
Part 74
THE CHAPTER OF A TET OF CARNELIAN. The Osiris Ani, whose word is
truth, saith:- The blood of Isis, the spells of Isis, the magical
powers of Isis, shall make this great one strong, and shall be an
amulet of protection [against him] that would do to him the things
which he abominateth.
RUBRIC (From the Papyrus of Nu): [This Chapter] shall be said over a
Tet of carnelian, which hath been washed in a tincture of ankhamu
flowers, and is fashioned out of the trunk of a sycamore tree. It
shall be placed on the neck of the deceased on the day of the funeral.
If this be done for him the magical powers of Isis will protect his
members. Horus, the son of Isis, shall rejoice when he seeth him. [No]
road shall be blocked to him. His hand shall be to heaven, his hand
shall be to earth, for ever. Do not let anyone see him. Verily....
RUBRIC (From the Saite Recension): [This Chapter] shall be said over
a Tet of carnelian, anointed with a tincture of ankhamu flowers,
made from the trunk of a sycamore tree. It shall be placed on the neck
of the Khu. If this book be done for him, the magical spells of Isis
shall protect him, and Horus the son of Isis shall rejoice [when] he
seeth him. No road shall be blocked to him. His hand shall be to
heaven, his hand shall be to earth....... If this book be known by him
he shall be in the following of Osiris Un-Nefer, and his word shall be
truth in Khert-Neter. The doors in Khert-Neter shall be opened to him.
Wheat and barley shall be given to him in Sekhet-Aanru. His name shall
be like [the names of] the gods who are there, the Followers of
Horus who reap.
