of cold
water, and having placed the seed in it, he sat down according to his
custom. And when the night came, the heart had absorbed all the water;
and Bata [on his bed] trembled in all his members, and he looked at
Anpu, whilst his heart remained in the vessel of water. And Anpu took up
the vessel wherein was his brother's heart, which had absorbed the
water. And Bata's heart ascended its throne [in his body], and Bata
became as he had been aforetime, and the two brothers embraced each

And Bata said to Anpu, "Behold, I am about to take the form of a great

and said unto her, "Look upon me, I am alive in very truth." And she
said unto him, "Who art thou?" And he said unto her, "I am Bata. When
thou didst cause the Acacia which held my heart to be destroyed by
Pharaoh, well didst thou know that thou wouldst kill me. Nevertheless, I
am alive indeed, in the form of a bull. Look at me!" And the August Lady
was greatly afraid because of what she had said concerning her husband
