“ [Here is] unguent, [here is] unguent. Open thy mouth, O Unas,1 and taste
the taste of the scent which is in the holy habitations. This scent is that which
distilleth from Horus, this scent is that which distilleth from Set, and it is that
which stablisheth the hearts of the two Horus gods.2 Thou purifiest thyself with
the Heru-shesu ;* thou art purified with natron, and Horus is purified with natron;
thou art purified with natron, and Set is purified with natron ;3 thou art purified
with natron, and Thoth is purified with natron ; thou art purified with natron, and
Sep is purified with natron ; thou art purified with natron, and art established
among them, and thy mouth is [as pure] as the mouth of a sucking calf on the day
of its birth. Thou art purified with natron, and Horus is purified with natron ; thou
art purified with natron, and Set is purified with natron ;4 [thou art purified with
natron] and Thoth is purified with natron ; thou art purified with natron; and Sep
is purified with natron ; thy ka is purified with natron, and thou art pure, thou art
pure, thou art pure, thou art pure. Thou art stablished among the gods thy
brethren, thy head is purified for thee with natron, thy bones are washed clean
with water, and thou thyself art made perfect with all that belongeth unto thee.

and Horus cometh thereunto ; it is brought unto thee, and placed in thy mouth.7
Hail, Unas, the nipples of the bosom of Horus have been given unto thee, and
thou hast taken in thy mouth 8 the breast of thy sister Isis, and the milk which
floweth from thy mother is poured into thy mouth.9

“ d hou hast gotten possession of the two eyes of Horus, the white and the
black, thou hast taken them unto thyself and they illumine thy face.10 The day
hath made an offering unto thee in heaven, ancl the East and the West are at
peace with thee ; the night hath made an offering11 unto thee, and the North and
the South are at peace with thee. These are the offerings which are brought unto
thee, the offerings which thou seest, the offerings which thou hearest, the offerings
which are before thee, the offerings which are behind thee, the offerings which are
with thee. O Osiris Unas, the white teeth of Horus are given unto thee that
thou mayest fill thy mouth therewith.12 A royal offering to the ka of Unas.13
Osiris Unas, the Eye of Horus hath been given unto thee, and thou livest, and
thou art.14 O Osiris Unas, the Eye of Horus which strove with Set hath been
