Note 6 — Chapter LXXI
P. Le Page (Peter Le Page) Renouf translation
This passage receives illustration from the great inscription of Piānchi, who at Heliopolis paid a visit to the great Tabernacle () of the Sun-god, the doors of which he opened and afterwards sealed up with the royal seal. Before going up the steps to it he had to lift the Vail () or Curtains which concealed it, and perform sprinklings and offer incense and flowers. Two important words (of which the first has the interesting variant and the second is written in the oldest texts) are thus made clear.
