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.
