In the next ceremony the priest continues the purification of the deceased, and on this occasion he takes in his hand a ball of incense and lifts it up before the face of the mummy, or statue. We may assume that he does this four, or even five, times, and offers four balls of incense, one for Horus, one for Set, one for

Thoth, and one for Sep. Meanwhile the Kher ḥeb says:—


 * "Thou art purified with natron, and Horus is purified with natron.
 * Thou art purified with natron, and Set is purified with natron.
 * Thou art purified with natron, and Thoth is purified with natron.
 * Thou art purified with natron, and Sep is purified with natron.
