- THE CHAPTER OF
GIVING A MOUTH TO THE OSIRIS ANI, THE SCRIBE, AND TELLER OF THE OFFERINGS
WHICH ARE MADE TO ALL THE GODS, WHOSE WORD IS TRUE, WHO SAITH:- I rise up
out of the Egg in the Hidden Land. May my mouth be given unto me that I may
speak therewith in the presence of the Great God, the Lord of the Tuat. Let
not my hand and my arm be repulsed in the presence of the Chiefs (Tchatchau)
of any god. I am Osiris, the Lord of Ra-stau. May I, the Osiris, the scribe
Ani, whose word is true, have my portion with him who is on the top of the
Steps (Osiris). According to the desire of my heart I have come forth from
the Island of Nesersert, and I have extinguished the fire.
