Spell for the head of mystery
Hail to you whose face is kindly, Lord of vision, one who is knit together for Ptah-Sokar and who is set on high for Anubis, to whom Shu has given the Supports, kindly face who is among the gods! Your right Eye is the Night-bark, your left Eye is the Day-bark, your eyebrows are the Ennead, your vertex is Anubis, the back of your head is Horus, your fingers are Thoth, your braided tress is Ptah-Sokar, and you are before N, who is happy with the Great God, whom he sees in you; lead him on fair roads that he may obstruct the confederacy of Seth for you, and make his enemies fall beneath him before the Great Ennead in the great Mansion of the Prince which is in Heliopolis. May you take a fair road into the presence of Horus, Lord of Patricians, O N.

Words spoken by Nephthys: I have gone round about my brother Osiris N; I have come as your protection, and my protection will be about you for ever. Your call has been heard by Re, and vindication has been carried out for you, O son of Hathor, and your head will never be taken away. In peace! Arouse yourself!
Formula at the presentation of a lighted torch: O you who come to lasso, I will not let you lasso; O you who come to do harm, I will not let you do harm. I will harm you, I will lasso you, for I am N's protection.

Another presentation of a torch: I am he who drags the sand to stop up the hidden place, I drive off him who would oppose himself to the torch of the necropolis. I have fired the necropolis, I have confused the path, for I am N's protection.
Words spoken by Anubis who presides over the god's booth, who is upon his mountain, Lord of the Sacred Land: I have come that I may spread my protection over N.

Words spoken by the living soul and worthy spirit of N to Osiris. What was to have been said has been omitted.
The presentation of a shabti. N says: O shabti, if I am summoned or counted of in the realm of the dead for any work, indeed obstacles are implanted there as a man at his duties, whether to make arable the fields, to flod the banks or to convey sand from West to East; 'Here am I,' you shall say.
Words spoken by Imsety: I am your son, O N. I have come that I may be your protection, and that I may make your house to flourish and endure, in accordance with the command of Ptah and in accordance with the commands of Re.
Words spoken by Hapy: I have come that I may be your protection, O N: I have knit together your head and your members, I have smitten your enemies beneath you, and I have given you your head for ever.
Words spoken by Duamutef: I am your beloved son Horus, O N. I have come that I may protect my father Osiris from him who would harm you, and I lead him under your feet.
Words spoken by Qebehsenuef: I am Qebehsenuef, and I have come that I may be your protection, O N. I join your bones together for you, I collect your members for you, I bring your heart to you, I set it in its place in your body for you, and I have caused your house to flourish after you.

Spell for preventing the slaughter which is carried out in Heracleopolis
O Land of the Staff! O Crown of the Statue! O Standard which is rowed! I am the Child! O Great Kid, I speak to you today! The shambles is equipped with what you know, and you have come to it ... I am Re, continually praised; I am the knot of the god within the tamarisk. How beautiful is the ... with him!
I am Re, continually praised; I am the knot of the god within the tamarisk; if I am hale, then will Re be hale today.
My hair is Nun; my face is Re; my eyes are Hathor; my ears are Wepwawet; my nose is She who presides over her lotus-leaf; my lips are Anubis; my molars are Selket; my incisors are Isis the goddess; my arms are the Ram, the Lord of Mendes; my phallus is Osiris; my muscles are the Lords of Kheraha; my chest is He who is greatly majestic; my belly and my spine are Sakhmet; my buttocks are the Eye of Horus; my thighs and my calves are Nut; my feet are Ptah; my toes are living falcons; there is no member of mine devoid of a god, and Thoth is the protection of all my flesh.
I am the daily sun, I am not grasped by my arms, I am not gripped by my hands, and there are no men, gods, spirits, dead men, patricians, common folk, sun-folk or robbers who shall harm me. I go forth hale, one whose name is unknown, I am Yesterday; one who views a million years; my name is one who passes on the paths of those who are in charge of destinies. I am the Lord of Eternity; may I be recognised as Khepri, for I am the Lord of the Wereret-crown.
I am he in whom is the Sacred Eye, and who is in the Egg, and it is granted to me to live by them.
I am he in whom is the Sacred Eye, namely the Closed Eye, I am under its protection, I have gone out, I have risen up, I have gone in, I am alive.
I am he in whom is the Sacred Eye, my seat is on my throne, I dwell in my abode with it, for I am Horus who treads down millions, my throne has been ordered for me, and I will rule from it. Behold, my mouth is what speaks and what keeps silence, and I am precise. Behold, my shape is turned upside down. I am Wennefer, season by season, whose attributes (come) into him one by one when he travels around.
I am he in whom is the Sacred Eye, and nothing shall into being against me, no evil cutting off and no uproar, and there shall be no danger to me.
I am he who opened a door in the sky, who rules from his throne, who adjudges those who are born this day; there is no child who treads yesterday's road, and today is mine. O people on people, I am he who protects you for aeons. Are you in being, you sky-folk, earthlings, southerners, northerners, easterners and westerners, is the fear of me in your bellies? I am he who fashioned with his Eye, and I will not die again. My striking power is in your bellies, my shape is before me; I am joyful, and there can be found no season when he could harm me. Where is the sky? Where is the earth? Their offspring are rebuffed and they are disunited. My name overpasses it, namely everything evil, for great are the spoken words which I speak to you.
I am one who rises and shines, wall of ealls, most unique of the unique ones, and there is no day devoid of its duties. Pass by! Behold, I have spoken to you, for I am the flower which came out of the Abyss, my mother is Nut. O you who created me, I am one who cannot tread, the great knot within yesterday; my arm is knotted into my hand, I will not know him who would know me, I will not grasp him who would grasp me. O Egg, O Egg, I am Horus who presides over myriads, my firey breath is in the faces of those whose hearts would move against me. I rule from my throne, I pass time on the road which I have opened up. I am released from all evil, I am the golden baboon, three palms and two fingers high, which has neither arms nor legs, in front of Memphis. If I am hale, then will the baboon which is in front of Memphis be hale.
