The Egyptian Book of the dead

Note 5 — Chapter XCIX

P. Le Page (Peter Le Page) Renouf translation

The corruption of the whole passage between [ ] will be best understood on comparing it with the names of “the Rudders of Heaven” as given in chapter 148; the earliest text of these names being (I think) the fine tablet in Denkm. III, 25 bis a. Three out of four of these names are represented by the phrases here printed in italics. The rest is incoherent and was certainly not understood by the copyists. I have followed Aa in my translation.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
