CHAPTER XX.

The twentieth chapter is entitled _Another Chapter of Crown of Triumph_,

but it is simply a tabulated form of chapter 18, with the Rubric. _Let

the person say this Chapter, and purify himself with water of natron, he

will come forth by day after death, and take all forms according to his

wish, and escape from the fire. With undeviating regularity for times

infinite._ The earliest example of this tabulated form of the chapter is

found on the Berlin Sarcophagus of Mentuhotep.
