Spell 178 15:25
Spell for raising the corpse, for having power in the eyes and ears and for making the head firm when it has been set in its proper place Take to yourself the Eye of Horus for which you have asked, namely a funeral meal. Rejoice, O you who use the hoe! Lift up the heart so as to cleanse the breast, that you may swallow the bright Eye of Horus which is in Heliopolis and drive out what is in the belly of Osiris ... N shall not be hungry, he shall not be thirsty for Ha has saved him and removed his hunger, and hearts are filled, are filled. O you who are in charge of food and attend to supplies of drink, N is commended to the House of Bread ... Re himself commended him; Re commends him to those who are in charge of food-supplies for this year. They seize and give to him barley and emmer, for this bread of his belongs to the Great Bull. May you give to N five loaves in the temple, for three loaves are in the sky with Re and two loaves are on earth with the Enneads. Nun departs and sees Re, and it goes well with N on this happy day. N is under the command of Shu and Isis and is united happily with his god. They give bread and beer to N, and they make for him everything good and pure on this happy day. A meal for the guide who travels, a meal of the Eye of Horus! A meal for all who go in and see the god! May you have power over water, may your shin of beef be on the altar of roast meat - four handfuls of water - according to the command of Osiris for N; Shu has ordered meals for N. That is your bread and beer. Awake, O Judge! Be high, O Thoth! Awake, you sleepers! Rouse up, O you who are within! Offerings shall be given to you in the presence of Thoth, the Great One who went up from the Nile, and of Wepwawet who issued from Tamarisk-town. N's mouth is pure, the Ennead has censed N's mouth, and truly pure are his mouth and tongue which is in his mouth. What N detests is faeces, he rejects urine, even as Seth rejected it. O you two Companions who cross the sky, namely Re and Thoth, take N with you, that he may eat of what you eat, that he may drink of what you drink, that he may sit on what you sit on, that he may be strong by means of that whereby you are strong, that he may sail in that wherein you sail. N's booth is plaited with rushes, N's drink-supply is in the Field of Offerings, his food-supplies are with the gods, and N's water is the wine of Re; he goes round about the sky and travels like Thoth. N detests hunger, and he will not eat it; he detests thirst. Bread is given to him by the Lord of Eternity, who makes an order for him. N was conceived in the night, he was born in the morning, he belongs to those who are in the suite of Re, who are before the Morning Star; he has brought to you the bread which he has found. The Eye of Horus drips upon the bush of the djenu-plant, the Foremost of the Westerners comes for him and brings provisions to Horus who presides over the houses. What he lives on, N lives on; what he drinks of, N drinks of; the shin of beef is on the altar of roast meat, and N is vindicated, even he who is favoured by Anubis who is on his mountain. Ho N! Such is your good repute in which you were held on earth; you are alive and young every day. Your vision is cleared, you are the Lord of the Horizon, and he gives you bread in its due hour, and his nightly portion. Horus has protected you, he has destroyed the jaws of your enemies, he has arrested the their at the door of his lair. Ho N! You have no enemies in the Mansion of the Great One, the balance is true as regards your deeds ... for Osiris, Lord of Provisions for the West. May you go in at will, may you see the Great God in his shape; may there be given to you life for your nose and triumph over your enemies. Ho N! Your detestation is lies, and the Lords of Offerings will be gracious to you on that night of silence and weeping. Sweet life is given to you from the mouths of the Ennead, and Thoth is pleased about it. May you be triumphant over your enemies, O N; Nut has spread herself over you in her name of Her of Shetpet, and she will cause you to be in the suite of the Great God. You have no enemies, and she will save you from all things evil in her name of 'Great Well', for you are the greatest of her children. O you who are in charge of the hours, who are before Re, make a path for N that he may pass within the circle of Osiris, Lord of Anhk-tawy, living for ever. O N, be happy in the suite of Nefertum, the lotus-bloom at the nose of Re ... cleansed in the presence of the gods, that you may see Re for ever.

Spell 3 05:11
O Atum who went forth as the Great One of the waters, having power as the Double Lion, announce in your own words to those who are in the Presence that N comes as one who is in their midst, and give command on his behalf to the crew of Re in the evening. May N live after death like Re every day. Was Re born yesterday? Then will N be born. May every god be joyful when N lives just as they were joyful when Ptah lived, when he came forth from the great Mansion of the Prince which is in Heliopolis.

Spell 12 02:24
Spell for going in and out Hail to you, O Re, guardian of the secrets of the gates which are on this neck of Geb, because of this balance of Re with which he weighs out justice daily. Behold, I have hacked up the earth, and I have been permitted to come, having grown old.

Spell 27 05:09
Spell for not permitting a man's heart to be taken from him in the realm of the dead O you who take away hearts and accuse hearts, who recreate a man's heart (in respect of) what he has done, he is forgetful of himself through what you have done. Hail to you, lords of eternity, founders of everlasting! Do not take N's heart with your fingers wherever his heart may be. You shall not raise any matter harmful to him, because as for this heart of N, this heart belongs to one whose names are great, whose words are mighty, who possesses his members. He sends out his heart which controls his body, his heart is announced to the gods, for N's heart is his own, he has power over it, and he will not say what he has done. He himself has power over his members, his heart obeys him, for he is your lord and you are in his body, you shall not turn aside. I command you to obey me in the realm of the dead, even I, N, who am vindicated in peace and vindicated in the beautiful West in the domain of eternity.

Spell 131 04:43
Spell for being in the presence of Re I am that Re who shines in the night. As for anyone who is in his suite or who lives in the suite of Thoth, he will give appearance in glory to this Horus in the night and joy to me, because I am one of these, and my enemies will be driven off from the Entourage; I am a follower of Re who has received his firmament. I have come to you, my father Re; I have travelled in the air, I have summoned this Great Goddess, I have adorned the god of Authority, I have passed by that Destructive One who is in the road to Re, and it is well with me. I have reached this Old One who is at the limits of the horizon, whom I have driven off. I take possession of the Great Goddess, I lift up your soul when you have become strong, and my soul is in the dread of you and the awe of you; I am he who enforces the commands of Re in the sky. Hail to you, Great God in the east of the sky! I go aboard your Bark, O Re; I pass by as a divine falcon, I give orders, I smite with my sceptre and govern with my staff. I go aboard your Bark, O Re, in peace; I navigate in peace to the beautiful West, and Atum speaks to me. *The remainder of this spell is too corrupt to yield an intelligible text.*

Spell 38a 08:06
Spell for living by air in the realm of the dead I am Atum who ascended from the Abyss to the Celestial Waters, I have taken my seat in the West and I give orders to the spirits whose seats are hidden, for I am the Double Lion, and acclamation is made to me in the Bark of Khepri. I eat in it and have become strong thereby, I live in it on air, and I drink in the Bark of Re. He opens a road for me, he throws open the gates of Geb. I have carried off those who are in the net of the Great One, I have governed those who are in their shrines, I have associated with Horus and Seth, the Two Lords. I despatch the Elders on my own account, I come and go without having my throat cut, I go aboard the Bark of the just, I join those who are in the Day-Bark when I attend on Re in his presence in the horizon, I daily live after death, I am strong through the Double Lion and I live after death, even I, N, who fills full the earth, who comes forth as the bloom of the lotus-plant, who makes the Two Lands content.

Spell 118 04:05
Spell for arriving in Rosetjau I am one who was born in Rosetjau, and benefits have been given to me by those who are among the noble dead, with the pure things of Osiris; I received praise in Rosetjau when I conducted Osiris to the Mounds of Osiris. I am unique, having conducted them to the Mounds of Osiris.

Spell 175 10:18
Spell for not dying again O Thoth, what is it that has come about through the Children of Nut? They have made war, they have raised up tumult, they have done wrong, they have created rebellion, they have done slaughter, they have created imprisonment, they have reduced what was great to what is little in all that we have made; show greatness, O Thoth! - so says Atum. You shall not witness wrong-doing, you shall not suffer it! Shorten their years, cut short their months, because they have done hidden damage to all that you have made. I have your pallete, O Thoth, I bring your inkpot to you; I am not among those who have done hidden damage, and none will work harm on me. Thus says N: O Atum, how comes it that I travel to a desert which has no water and no air, and which is deep, dark and unsearchable? Atum: Live in it in content! N: But there is no love-making there! Atum: I have given spirit-being instead of water, air and love-making, contentment in place of bread and beer - so says Atum. Do not be sorry for yourself, for I will not suffer you to lack. N: But every god has taken his place in the Bark of Millions of Years! Atum: Your seat now belongs to your son Horus - so says Atum - and he will despatch the Elders, he will rule from your seat, he will inherit the throne which is in the Island of Fire. N: Command that I may see his equal, for my face will see the face of the Lord of All. What will be the duration of my life? - so said he. Atum: You shall be for millions of years, a lifetime of millions of years. I will despatch the Elders and destroy all that I have made; the earth shall return to the Abyss, to the surging flood, as in its original state. But I will remain with Osiris, I will transform myself into something else, namely a serpent, without men knowing or the gods seeing. How good is what I have done for Osiris, even more than for all the gods! I have given him the desert, and his son Horus is the heir on his throne which is in the Island of Fire; I have made what appertains to his place in the Bark of Millions of Years, and Horus is firm on his throne in order to found his establishments. N: But the soul of Seth will travel further than all the gods. Atum: I have caused his soul which is in the bark to be restrained, so that the body of the god may be afraid. N: HO my father Osiris, do for me what your father Re did for you, so that I may be long-lived on earth, that my throne may be well-founded, that my heir may be in good health, that my tomb may be long-enduring, and that these servants of mine may be on earth; let my enemies be split open, may the Scorpion be on their bones, for I am your son, O my father Re; do this for me for the sake of my life, welfare and health, for Horus is firmly established on his throne, and let my lifetime come to attain the blessed state.
