Of the Crocodile

[From the Papyrus of Nu (British Museum No. 10,477, sheet 11).]

The Chapter of making the transformation into a crocodile. The chancellor-in-chief, Nu, triumphant, saith:

“I am the divine crocodile which dwelleth in his terror, I am the divine crocodile, and I seize [my prey] like a ravening beast. I am the great and Mighty Fish which is in the city of Qem-ur. I am the lord to whom bowing and prostrations [are made] in the city of Sekhem.”
