Of Entering Into The Great House
From the Papyrus of Nu (British Museum No. 10,477, sheet 10).]
THE CHAPTER OF ENTERING INTO THE GREAT HOUSE. The overseer of the palace,
the chancellor-in-chief, Nu, triumphant, saith:
“Homage to thee, O Thoth. I am Thoth, who have weighed the two divine
Fighters (_i.e._, Horus and Set), I have destroyed their warfare and I
have diminished their wailings. I have delivered the _Atu_ fish in his
turning back, and I have performed that which thou didst order concerning
him, and afterward I lay down within my eye. [I am he who hath been
without opposition. I have come; do thou look upon me in the Temple of
Nem-hra (or Uhem-hra).] I give commands in the words of the divine aged
ones, and, moreover, I guide for thee the lesser deities.”
