[From the Papyrus of Nu (British Museum No. 10,477, sheet 7).]

The Chapter of drinking water and of not being burnt by fire [in the underworld]. The overseer of the palace, the chancellor-in-chief, Nu, triumphant, saith:

“Hail, Bull of Amentet! I am brought unto thee, I am the oar of Rā wherewith he ferried over the divine aged ones; let me neither be burnt up nor destroyed by fire. I am Bet, the first-born son of Osiris, who doth meet every god within his Eye in Annu. I am the divine Heir, the exalted one(?), the Mighty One, the Resting One. I have made my name to germinate, I have delivered [it], and thou shalt live through me day by day.”

[pg 042]
