CHAPTER CLXVII.
Project Gutenberg EPUB edition
Renouf, P. Le Page (Peter Le Page) and Naville, Edouard
Chapter of bringing an Eye.
When Thoth had brought the Eye, he appeased the Eye, After Rā had wounded(1) her, she was raging furiously and then Thoth calmed her after she had gone away raging. As I am sound, she is sound and N. is sound.
Notes.
This Chapter taken also from London 9900, is a mere abridgment of lines 30-34 in Chapter 17. It refers probably to an eclipse. The Eye, the moon is pierced or wounded by Rā, which causes the goddess to be furious. Then, according to Chapter 17, “Thoth calms her troubled state (Brugsch), and brings her whole and sound without any defect.” This is called to appease the goddess.
1. The correct reading according to Chapter 17, is: or Brugsch (Dict. Suppl., p. 751) translates the word: to pierce.
