Appendix
(From the Papyrus of Nu, Sheet 13)
Hail, thou god
Tem, who comest forth from the Great Deep, who shinest gloriously
under the form of the twin Lion-gods, send forth with might thy
words unto those who are in thy presence, and let the Osiris Nu
enter into their assembly. He hath performed the decree which
hath been spoken to the mariners at eventide, and the Osiris Nu,
whose word is truth, shall live after his death, even as doth Ra
every day. Behold, most certainly Ra was born yesterday, and the
Osiris Nu was born yesterday. And every god shall rejoice in the
life of the Osiris Nu, even as they rejoice in the life of Ptah,
when he appeareth from the Great House of the Aged One which is
in Anu.
