Rh Lo, it is prepared for and containeth thy hidden shrine.

Thy wife is ready to protect thee, and thy son Horus also, as prince of the lands.

Behold now, Nephthys speaketh,—

Behold the excellent sistrum-bearer! Come to thy temple, Un-Nofer, deceased,—come to Deddu!

Behold the bull, the begotten one!

Come thou to Anep (Mendes), the beloved enclosure!

Come to Khar! Come to the two Deddus (Mendes and Busiris), the place which thy soul loveth, and the souls of thy fathers likewise!

Thy son, thy child Horus, born of thy sister-goddesses, is before thy face.

It is I who doth illuminate and protect thee every day—

I will not depart from thee for ever!

Oh, An, come thou to Sais, for thy name is "Sau" (protector)!

Come to Aper! Behold thou thy mother, Nut, oh thou lovely child!

Depart thou not from her! Come to her breasts; abundance is therein!

Thy sister, too, is beautiful, depart thou not from her, oh son!
