Note 1 — Chapter XXVII
P. Le Page (Peter Le Page) Renouf translation
There is a great difference here as in so many other places between the MSS. of different periods. I long ago translated the of the Todtenbuch by non ignoretur a vobis, M. de Rougé, after me, by non renuatur a vobis. But M. Naville pointed out the fact that in some of the oldest MSS. the particle did not occur. It now appears that the particle is not found in any of the older MSS., and I have also found it omitted in hieratic papyri. The passage therefore must be translated differently, and this is possible through a slight change in the 70interpretation of from ignorare to ignoscere; ignoscatur illi a vobis. The pronoun which in the older texts follows , refers to ‘what he hath done’ of the last clause.
