The Egyptian Book of the Dead
Chapter whereby one knoweth the Power of Hermopolis.
116.1Neith dawneth forth in Mat’at, and Maāt is conveyed upon the Arm of the Eater of the Eye by him who reckoneth it out.
116.2I know it, and I am therefore led in through the Sem priest.
116.3I tell it not to men, I repeat it not to the gods (and conversely).
116.4I enter as one who knoweth not, and seeth not.
116.5Hail, ye gods who are in Hermopolis. Know ye me as I know Neith, that the Eye may be made firm and permanent. I take delight in reckoning out that which is reckoned.
116.6I know the Powers of Hermopolis who are great at the beginning of the month, and diminished at the fifteenth day.
116.7They are Thoth the Unseen, Sau and Tmu.
116.8If this chapter be known, filth is avoided, and lye is not drunken.
