Note 4 — Chapter CXVII

P. Le Page (Peter Le Page) Renouf translation

That I may firmly secure my suit at Abydos. The scholion on Chapter 17, referred to in note 1, states that the “place of Maāt is at Abydos.” It is, of course, the mystical, not the geographicalgeographical, Abydos which is meant, and the suit (res) which has to be settled is the final judgment of the deceased.
