HEART OF OSIRIS, THE SCRIBE OF THE SACRED OFFERINGS OF ALL THE GODS, AnI,

“ May there be nothing to withstancl me at [my] judgment; may there be no
“ resistance against me by the Tchatcha ; may there be no parting of thee from me
“ in the presence of him who keepeth the Scales ! Thou art my ka within (4)
“ my body, [which] knitteth and strengtheneth my limbs. Mayest thou come
“ forth in the place of happiness [to which] I advance. May the Shenit,3 who
“ make men to stand fast, not cause my name to stink.”3
Vignette : Ani holding his soul in the form of a human-headed bird.
Text: [Chapter LXI.] (1) Chapter of not letting the soul of a man be
taken away from him in the underworld. Osiris the scribe Ani saith : “ I,
“ even I, am he (2) who came forth from the water-flood which I make to
“ overflow ancl which becometh mighty as the River [Nile].
Appendix : In many early papyri the text of Chapter LXI. forms part of a
longer composition which M. Naville calls Chapters LXI.,4 LX.,5 and LXII.,6 and
which reads :—
(1) Chapter of drinking water in the underworld. [He saith] :
“ I, even I, am he who cometh forth from (2) Seb. The flood hath been given unto him,
1 This chapter is usually accompanied by a vignette. In that in the papyrus of Nebseni the
deceased is being weighed against his own heart; an ape, “ Thoth, lord of the Balance,” seated on a
pedestal, holds the tongue of the balance. In British Museum Papyrus No. 9964 the deceased is also
weighed against his own heart, but at the same time a figure of himself is also watching the process. In
the papyrus of Sutimes a square weight lies in each pan of the scales. Other vignettes have simply a
scarab, or the deceased addressing his heart, which rests on a standard See Naville, Todtenbuch,
