Below this inscription is a black and white bull
bearing a mummy upon its back, and below this are
four lines of hieroglyphics containing prayers for
sepulchral offerings; as the text is practically the

is not repeated here.

emblematic of Ra and Isis and Nephthys.
2. The vulture j^, emblematic of the goddess
Mut, holding in each of its claws shen Q,
emblematic of the circuit of the Sun, and
