Chapter CXVIII Chapter Whereby One Arriveth at Restau
I am he who is born in Restau.
Glory is given to me by those who are in their mummied forms in Pu, at the sanctuary of Osiris, whom the guards(1) receive at Restau when they conduct Osiris through the demesnes of Osiris.
Note.
1. Guards, ⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂ ȧaku, the same personages as those mentioned in Chapter 28, note 2, and they seem to me to be identical with the “wardens of the passages,” Chapter 17, “attendant upon Osiris.” There is an imperfect tablet of the 12th dynasty at Hamamāt (Denkm., II, 138, c) in which thirty ⁂⁂⁂ are mentioned along with the soldiers and other persons belonging to the expedition. The Pyramid Texts have the word ⁂⁂ but apparently with a determinative of salutation, ⁂. (Pepi I, 160, cf. line 82.)
