The Egyptian Book of the dead

Note 1 — Chapter CIX

P. Le Page (Peter Le Page) Renouf translation

Favouring gales “sailing breezes,” correspond to phrases like ἴκμενος οὖρος, venti secundi, trade winds, tail wind, stern wind. There is not the faintest authority from the older papyri (which are very numerous, and remarkably unanimous on this point) in favour of the determinative , of the Turin Todtenbuch, which gives the sense of violent or tempestuous winds.
