26 Come to Sais, oh Osiris, and to Tarud,

She who is called also Nisep, born of Pelses, deceased!

Come to Aper, thy city, thy seat, and to the temple of Deb!

Thou shalt rest beside thy mother eternally;

She preserveth thy limbs and procureth terror among thy enemies, for she protecteth thy members for ever.

Behold the excellent sistrum-bearer! Come to thy temple!

Come, behold thou thy son Horus as prince of gods and men;

He taketh possession of the cities and the nomes by the magnitude of his terrors;

Heaven and earth are filled with fear of him,

And the barbarians are submissive under his terrors. Thy children are among gods and men,

And the eastern and western horizons are among the attributes of thy producing;

Thy two sisters are at thy side, purifying thy soul,

And thy son Horus admitteth thine attributes. There cometh forth funereal and other offerings—beer, bulls and geese—for thee:

Tehuti proclaimeth thy Heb-festival, and invoketh thee with his protecting formulae;

Horus covereth thy limbs with his protections;

Every day thy son Horus glorifieth thy spirit,
