The Egyptian Book of the dead

Note 1 — Chapter CXXVI

P. Le Page (Peter Le Page) Renouf translation

Harbingers or Saluters, . See Chapter 5, Note 5, for an explanation of the name of those Apes who salute[135] the Daybreak. Here four only are spoken of, and this was probably the original number, corresponding to the four portals of the Mount of Glory. The number eight (the Chemunnu) is more easy to explain than six, which is the number stated in the text quoted from the tomb of Rameses VI.
