Chapter CL.
Project Gutenberg EPUB edition
Renouf, P. Le Page (Peter Le Page) and Naville, Edouard
Notes.
This is not a separate chapter: it stands to 149 as 16 to 15. It consists of the vignettes accompanying Chapter 149, and it is the end of many papyri. Curiously, there are fifteen domains instead of fourteen, one of them, the fifth, seems to have been divided into two.
At the corner of the picture are four serpents, which I consider as the four cardinal points.
Taking the domains in the same order as in the preceding text, we find them named in the following way in the papyrus Aa:—
1. The good Amenta, the gods within which live on shens and tu loaves.
2. The garden of Aarru; the god in it is Rā.
3. The domain of the glorious ones.
4. The high and lofty mountain.
5. The basin, the fire of which is a blazing flame; the front of the fire, the god in it is the bearer of altars.
6. Amemhet, the god in it is he who knocks down the fishes.
7. Asset.
8. Hasert, the god in it is the bearer of heaven.
9. Akset, the god in it is Maatetf.
10. The face of the Kahu gods.
11. Aat, the god in it is Sothis.
12. The domain of Unt, the god in it is the destroyer of souls.
13. The surface of the water, the god in it is the mighty power.
14. The domain of Cher-āba, the god in it is the Nile.
