The Chapter Of Memory

[From the Papyrus of Nu (British Museum No, 10,477, sheet 5).]

THE CHAPTER OF MAKING A MAN TO POSSESS MEMORY IN THE UNDERWORLD. The
chancellor-in-chief, Nu, triumphant, the overseer of the palace, the son
of the chief chancellor Amen-hetep, saith:

“May my name be given to me in the Great House, and may I remember my name
in the House of Fire on the night of counting the years and of telling the
number of the months. I am with the Divine One, and I sit on the eastern
side of heaven. If any god whatsoever should advance unto me, let me be
able to proclaim his name forthwith.”
