who give cakes and
ale(?), do ye know for what reason the city of Pe hath been given unto
Horus? I, even I, know though ye know it not. Behold, Ra gave the city
unto him in return for the injury in his eye, for which cause Ra said to
Horus, 'Let me see what is coming to pass in thine eye,' and forthwith he
looked thereat. Then Ra said to Horus, 'Look at that black pig,' and he
looked, and straightway an injury was done unto his eye, [namely,] a
mighty storm [took place]. Then said Horus unto Ra, 'Verily, my eye seems
as if it were an eye upon which Suti had inflicted a blow;' [and thus
saying] he ate his heart.(75) Then said Ra to those gods, 'Place ye him in
his chamber, and he shall do well.' Now the black pig was Suti who had
transformed himself into a black pig, and he it was who had aimed the blow
of fire which was in the eye of Horus. Then said Ra unto those gods, 'The
pig is an abominable thing unto Horus; oh, but he shall do well although
the pig is an abomination unto him.' Then the company of the gods, who
were among the divine followers of Horus when he existed in the form of
his own child, said, 'Let sacrifices be made [to the gods] of his bulls,
and of his goats, and of his pigs.' Now the father of Mesthi, Hapi,
Tuamautef and Qebhsennuf is Horus, and their mother is Isis. Then said
Horus to Ra, 'Give me two divine brethren in the city of Pe and two divine
brethren in the city of Nekhen, who [have sprung] from my body and who
shall be with me in the guise of everlasting judges, then shall the earth
blossom and thunder-clouds and rain be blotted out.' And the name of Horus
became 'Her-uatch-f' (_i.e._, Prince of his emerald stone). I, even I,
know the Souls of Pe, namely, Horus, Mesthi, and Hapi."

Of Knowing The Souls Of Nekhen

[From the Papyrus of Nu (British Museum No. 10,477, sheet 18).]

THE CHAPTER OF KNOWING THE SOULS OF NEKHEN. The overseer of the palace,
the chancellor-in-chief, Nu, triumphant, saith:

"I know the hidden things of the city of Nekhen, that is to say, the
things which the mother of Horus did for him, and how she [made her voice
to go forth] over the waters, saying, 'Speak ye unto me concerning the
judgment which is upon me, [and shew me] the path behind you, and let me
discover [it];' and how Ra said, 'This son of Isis hath perished;' and
what the mother of Horus did for him [when] she cried out, saying, 'Sebek,
the lord of the papyrus swamp, shall be brought to us.' [And S
