Appendix
(From the Papyrus of Nu)
[These words]
shall be said when Ra appeareth over [figures] of these gods
written in colour upon a tablet, and thou shalt place offerings
of tchefau food before them, cakes, ale, flesh, geese, and
incense. They shall cause the deceased to enjoy the
"offerings which come forth at the word [of command]"
before Ra; and they shall give the deceased an abundance of food
in Khert-Neter, and shall deliver him from every evil thing
whatsoever. And thou shalt not recite this Book of Un-Nefer in
the presence of anyone except thine own self. If this be done for
the deceased Ra shall be a rudder for him, and shall be to him a
strong protecting power, and he shall destroy all his enemies for
him in Khert-Neter, and in heaven, and upon earth, and in every
place whereinsoever he may enter, and he shall enjoy celestial
food regularly and continually for ever.
