came forth from the heart of the great Agathodaemon,
the father of the fathers of all the gods; come to the
mouths (22) of my vessel to-day and do thou tell me
answer in truth to everything that I shall inquire about,
without falsehood therein; for I am Isis (23) the Wise,
the words of whose mouth of mine {sic) come to pass.'
Formula: seven times. You say to the boy 'Speak to
Anubis, saying (24) " Go forth, bring in the gods." '
When he goes after them and brings them in, you ask
the boy, saying 'Have the gods (25) come in?' If he
says ' They have come' and you (sic) see them, you cry
before them. Formula: ' Raise thyself for me (bis),
Pshoi; raise thyself, Mera (26), the Great of Five,
Didiou, Tenziou, do justice to me. Thoth, let creation (?)
fill the earth with light; O (thou who art an) ibis in (27)
his noble countenance, thou noble one that enters the
heart, let truth be brought forth, thou great god whose
name is great.' Say seven times. (28) You say to the
boy ' Speak to Anubis, saying " Bring in a table for the
