Driving Away Apshait

[From the Papyrus of Nu (British Museum No. 10,477, sheet 8).]

THE CHAPTER OF DRIVING AWAY APSHAIT. Osiris Nu, the chancellor-in-chief,
triumphant, saith:

“Depart from me, O thou that hast lips which gnaw, for I am Khnemu, the
lord of Peshennu,(33) and [I] bring the words of the gods to Rā, and I
report [my] message to the lord thereof.”(34)
