The Egyptian Book of the dead

Note 6 — Chapter XXXII

P. Le Page (Peter Le Page) Renouf translation

The text is here hopelessly corrupt. M. Pierret has ‘offrande,’ which he most probably derives from or , a reading found in some papyri. But Ba, our oldest authority, has , and Bekenrenef has . The Turin copy has ; and the context does not help us. Of these four readings (and there are probably others which I do not know) that of Bekenrenef seems to me the best; but has so many possible applications that I will not venture to suggest one.
