CHAPTER LXXXVIII.

_Chapter whereby one assumeth the form of the Crocodile god [Sebak(1.)._

For I am the Crocodile god in all his terrors.

I am the Crocodile god in the form of man.(2.) I am he who carrieth off

with violence. I am the almighty Fish in Kamurit.

I am the Lord to whom one bendeth down(3.) in Sechem.

NOTES.

1. Sebak is not always named in the papyri. The ideogram of the

crocodile was in some copies read _emsuḥ_ and in others _sebak_.

2. _In the form of man_ ⁂⁂⁂⁂. Of the very different

readings this is the most intelligible.

3. _To whom one bendeth down_, literally ‘master of bendings.’
