Against Snakes
[From the Papyrus of Nu (British Museum No. 10,477, sheet 6).]
THE CHAPTER OF NOT [LETTING] OSIRIS NU, TRIUMPHANT, BE BITTEN BY SNAKES
(OR WORMS) IN THE UNDERWORLD. He saith:
“O Serpent! I am the flame which shineth upon the Opener(?) of hundreds of
thousands of years, and the standard of the god Tenpu,” or (as others say)
“the standard of young plants and flowers. Depart ye from me, for I am the
divine Māftet.”(32)
