Note 1 — Chapter CXXX
P. Le Page (Peter Le Page) Renouf translation
This title is given to the Chapter in the later recensions, and nearly resembles that given in the Berlin papyrus of Nechtu-amen (of the XIXth dynasty). That given in another papyrus of the older period is quite different,—“Chapter whereby the Chu is fortified.” Instead of the Sheniu of the Tuat, Ba (the papyrus of Nechtuamen) has the Sheniu of Fire , a reading suggested by the the circuit of fire, which occurs in the title of another chapter. The Sheniu of this chapter are living personages who attend upon the Osiris and greet him with their acclamations. The word is often translated ‘princes,’ ‘officers,’‘officers,’ but it signifies those who are in the circle of a king or god, hence ‘ministrants,’ ‘courtiers,’ as in the rubric of Chapter CXXV.
