[AND COMING FORTH] BY DAY. Saith Osiris Ani :-

"The city of Unnu (Hermopolis) is opened . My head (2) is
"sealed up, O Thoth, and strong is the Eye of Horus . I have
"delivered the Eye of Horus which shineth with splendours on
"the forehead of Ra, (3) the father of the gods . I am the same
"Osiris, the dweller in Amentet . Osiris knoweth his day, and
"that he shall live through his period of life ; and shall not I
"do likewise : (4) I am the Moon-god, who dwelleth among the
"gods, I shall not perish . Stand up, therefore, O Horns, for
"[Osiris] hath reckoned thee among the gods ."
