CHAPTER LXXVI.

_Chapter whereby all forms are assumed which one pleaseth._

I have made my way into the Royal Palace, and it was the Bird-Fly(1.)

who brought me hither.

Hail to thee, who fliest up to Heaven, to give light to the stars and

protect the White Crown which falleth to me.

Stable art thou, O mighty god, for ever. Make thou for me a path upon

which I may pursue my course.

NOTE.,

1. _The Bird-Fly_, ⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂. On this god, see _Proc.

Soc. Bibl. Arch._, 1892, p. 396 and following, and also 1893, p. 135 and

following. In the papyrus of Nebseni the name has for determinative an

insect, which M. Lefébure has identified with the _mantis_. This deity,

according to ancient texts, was the _Tiller of the Rudder_ of the

Neshemit ship of Osiris.
