akes, and I advance to the cities thereof, O
divine Hetep. Behold, my mouth is provided with my [teeth which are
like] horns; grant me therefore an overflowing supply of the food
whereon, the 'Doubles' (KAU) and the Spirits (KHU) do live. I have
passed the judgment which Shu passeth upon him that knoweth him,
therefore let me go forth to the cities of [Hetep], and let me sail
about among its lakes, and let me walk about in Sekhet-Hetep. Behold
R[=a] is in heaven, and behold the god Hetep is the twofold offering
thereof. I have come forward to the land [of Hetep], I have girded up
my loins and come forth so that the gifts which are about to be given
unto me may be given, and I am glad, and I have laid hold upon my

Sekhet-Aaru.] I have entered into thee and I have reckoned up my
harvest, and I go forward to Uakh. [Footnote: The name of a lake in
