O light," and open your eyes at once.' Then the gods
come in and tell thee answer to everything.

say it is well tested. Its spirit-gathering : you take a
young boy who is pure, you make the spirit-formula (?)
(2) which is written for it; you take him before the sun ;
you make him stand on a new brick at the moment at
which (3) the sun shall rise, and it comes up entirely
with the entire (?) disk; you put a new mat (?) of linen
