Note 4 — Chapter CVIII
P. Le Page (Peter Le Page) Renouf translation
The serpent’s name is not mentioned in chapter 111, nor is it in the earliest text. But in chapter 149 the usual name is , more fully written in the Papyrus of Nebseni. The determinative commonly attached to the name of Âpepi, expresses the meaning ‘sword smitten,’ ‘shot with swords,’ ξιφόκτονος. We might otherwise have understood the term in the sense of ξιφοκτόνος, ‘slayer with swords.’ The Papyrus of Sutimes Pd calls the serpent ‘knife-wounded.’
