HAYING passed through the EIGHTH DIVISION of the Tuat, the boat of the sun arrives at the NINTH DIVISION, which is passed through by the sun during the NINTH HOUR of the night. The text which refers to these reads: This great god joineth those who will transport him through this City, and his sailors join his boat wherein he is in his hidden form of MEHEN. Their work in the Tuat is to raise the praises of Osiris, and to embrace the hidden Soul by means of their words, and to bring life and strength to the risings of the god of the Tuat and they utter words on in the chamber each day.
