The Egyptian Book of the Dead 58

Dominion over Elements [From the Papyrus of Ani (British Museum No. 10,470, sheet 16).]

The Chapter of breathing the air and of having dominion over the water in the underworld. Osiris Ani saith:

“Open to me.” Who art thou? Whither goest thou? What is thy name? “I am one of you.” Who are those with thee? “The two serpent goddesses Merti. Separate thou from him, head from head, when [thou] goest into the divine Mesqen chamber. He letteth me set out for the temple of the gods who have found their faces. ‘Assembler of Souls‘ is the name of my boat; ‘Making the hair to stand on end‘ is the name of the oars; ‘Goad‘ is the name of the hold; ‘Making straight for the middle‘ is the name of the rudder; likewise [the boat] is a type of my being borne onward in the pool. Let there be given unto me vessels of milk, together with cakes, and loaves of bread, and cups of drink, and flesh in the Temple of Anpu.”

If he (i.e., the deceased) knoweth this chapter, he shall go into, after coming forth from, the underworld of the [beautiful Amentet].
