and of doing everything even as a man doeth upon the earth." The deceased says:-- "Set hath seized Horus, who looked with the two eyes [Footnote: _i.e._, the Eye of R[=a] and the Eye of Horus.] upon the building (?) round Sekhet-hetep, but I have released Horus [and taken him from] Set, and Set hath opened the path of the two eyes [which are] in heaven. Set hath cast (?) his moisture to the winds upon the soul that hath his day, and that dwelleth in the city of Mert, and he hath delivered the interior of the body of Horus from the gods of Akert. "Behold me now, for I make this mighty boat to travel over the Lake of Hetep, and I brought it away with might from the palace of Shu; the domain of his stars groweth young and reneweth the strength which it had of old.

Thou hast made strong the mouth (_or_ door) and the throat (_?_) of Hetep; Qetet-bu is his name.
