ABSTRACT

The god AFU-RA now enters the region URNES, which derives its name from that of the river flowing through it; it is 309, or 480 leagues in length, and 120 wide. URNES is a portion of the dominions of OSIRIS-KHENTI-AMENTI, the great god of Abydos, and it, no doubt, formed a section of the SEKHET-HETEPET according to the old theology of Egypt. The Boat of AFU-Ra is now under the direction of the goddess of the second hour of the night, SHESAT-MAKET-NEB-S, and the uraei of Isis and Nephthys have been added to its crew. When AFU-RA has come into URNES, he addresses the gods of the region, who are called "BAIU-TUATIU", and tells them to open their doors so that they may receive air, and fresh food, and fresh water, in return for the deeds of valour which they have done on behalf of AFU-RA.
