Of Transformation

[From the Papyrus of Nu (British Museum No. 10,477, sheet 9).]

THE CHAPTER OF A MAN TRANSFORMING HIMSELF INTO WHATEVER FORM HE PLEASETH.
The chancellor-in-chief, Nu, triumphant, saith:

“I have come into the House of the King by means of the mantis (_abit_)
which led me hither. Homage to thee, O thou who fliest into heaven, and
dost shine upon the son of the white crown, and dost protect the white
crown, let me have my existence with thee! I have gathered together the
great god[s], I am mighty, I have made my way and I have travelled along
thereon.”
