The Papyrus of Ani, Chapter 93

Copyright 1997 by Neil Parker.

Text:

A apell for not letting a man be carried to the east in the underworld. Words spoken by the Osiris Ani:

O phallus of Ra, giving way, which destroys oppostion,

The still things come into being in millions of years through the god Bibi.

I am stronger than the strong; I have mastery over the masters.

Let [me] not be carried, let me not be taken to the east to perform the festival of demons there.

Do not slay, o evil ones; do not attack with [your] horns.

You do not descend to devour fish, as Tebun did.

Another spell: [this line is probably erroneous]

Let nothing evil be done against me by the demons with [their] horns; the phallus of Ra and the head of Osiris are not devoured.

Lo, I have come to my fields; I reap, and my gods, they answer me.

May you not pierce Ra-Khepri; truly no abscesses come into being in the the eye of Atum.

May he not destroy [me]; may [I] not be robbed.

May I not be carried to the east to perform the festival of demons in evil; may I not be slain in evil; may I not be carried to the east;

The Osiris scribe and accountant of the offerings of all the gods, Ani, true of voice and beautiful, the lord of dignity.
