CHAPTER CLXVII.

_Chapter of bringing an Eye._

When Thoth had brought the Eye, he appeased the Eye, After Rā had

wounded(1.) her, she was raging furiously and then Thoth calmed her

after she had gone away raging. As I am sound, she is sound and _N._ is

sound.

NOTES.

This Chapter taken also from London 9900, is a mere abridgment of lines

30-34 in Chapter 17. It refers probably to an eclipse. The Eye, the moon

is pierced or wounded by Rā, which causes the goddess to be furious.

Then, according to Chapter 17, “Thoth calms her troubled state

(Brugsch), and brings her whole and sound without any defect.” This is

called to appease the goddess.

1. The correct reading according to Chapter 17, is: ⁂⁂⁂⁂ or

⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂ Brugsch (_Dict. Suppl._, p. 751) translates the

word: to pierce.
