The Egyptian Book of the dead

Note 1 — Chapter CXVIII

P. Le Page (Peter Le Page) Renouf translation

Guards, ȧaku, the same personages as those mentioned in Chapter 28, note 2, and they seem to me to be identical with the “wardens of the passages,” Chapter 17, “attendant upon Osiris.” There is an imperfect tablet of the 12th dynasty at Hamamāt (Denkm., II, 138, c) in which thirty are mentioned along with the soldiers and other persons belonging to the expedition. The Pyramid Texts have the word but apparently with a determinative of salutation, . (Pepi I, 160, cf. line 82.)
