Rh Is not his Kher-Heb priest held in awe in this temple&mdash;great in heaven and great on earth? (Repeat four times the formula.)

Are not the two impersonators of the goddesses, and Hunnu, the beautiful, approaching to thy shrine at this moment? (Repeat twice.)

Do we not behold the excellent sistrum-bearer approaching to thy temple and drawing nigh, though thou hast departed from us?

Lo, Hunnu, the beautiful, passeth over the land hourly and yearly, at his proper season;

He, the purified image of his father Tenen, the essence of deep mysteries:

He proceedeth from Tum, the most excellent lord:

Perfect is he, like his father, the eldest god born of the body of his mother!

Come thou to us with thy attributes:

Let those among us who travel not thy path be embraced by thee:

Beautiful of face and greatly beloved is the image of Tenen, male lord of love, adored when he exhibiteth himself.

His limbs fail from his being bound;&mdash;

Come thou in peace, oh thou lord of those among us who behold the two goddesses united!
