Chap. xv. A. III.

Chap. xvi. A.

1.— Vignettes : (a) Hunefer, “ Overseer of the palace of the lord of the two lands (i.e., the
North and South), Men-Maat-Ra (Seti I. King of Egypt about B.C. 1370), and Overseer
of the cattle of the lord of the two lands, the royal scribe,” and his wife Nasha, a lady
of the college of the god Amen-Ra at Thebes, in an attitude of adoration; (b) Isis and
Nephthys, the sisters of Osiris, adoring on the right and left of the Tat a symbol of
Osiris. The omaments upon the heads of the two goddesses are the hieroglyphic signs
of their names. Above is the hawk emblematic of the rising sun; on one side are four, and
on the other side three, cynocephali or dog-headed apes, the transformed openers of the
Eastern portals of Heaven, raising their hands in adoration.

Text Hymn in honour of the sun-god Ra at his rising.
