at his feet, and the male and female gods about him.
Speak, Isis, let it be told (33) to Osiris concerning the
things which I ask about, to cause the god to come in
whose hand is the command, and give me answer to
everything about which I shall inquire (34) here to-day.

I may send him, he being discreet (?) as to the business

to everything which I ask (37) about here to-day truly
without telling me falsehood. If thou wilt not do it,
I will not give thee oil.
