"Hail to you, O ye divine beings with splendid _Ka_s, ye divine lords of
things, who exist and who live forever, and [whose] double period of an
illimitable number of years is eternity, I have made a way unto you, grant
ye me food and sepulchral meals for my mouth, [and grant that] I may speak
therewith, and that the goddess Isis [may give me] loaves and cakes in the
presence of the great god. I know the great god before whose nostrils ye
place _tchefau_ food, and his name is Thekem; both when he maketh his way
from the eastern horizon of heaven and when he journeyeth into the western
horizon of heaven may his journey be my journey, and his going forth my
going forth. Let me not be destroyed at the _Mesqet_ chamber, and let not
the devils gain dominion over my members. I have my cakes in the city of
Pe, and I have my ale in the city of Tepu, and let the offerings [which
are given unto you] be given unto me this day. Let my offerings be wheat
and barley; let my offerings be _anti_ unguent and linen garments; let my
offerings be for life, strength, and health: let my offerings be a coming
forth by day in any form whatsoever in which it may please me to appear in
Sekhet-Aarru."
