Appendix 337 are to thee, coming forth from the emissions of Osiris. The doors of heaven are open to thee, the doors of the firmament are thrown open to thee, the doors of the Hat-house are open to thee, and the doors of Nut are unclosed to thee. I sis crieth welcome to the Father, Nephthys maketh the Father to advance in peace .... Thy Spirit-soul is behind thee, thy Sekhem is within thee .... Heaven weepeth for thee, the earth trembleth at thee, Smentet crieth out to thee, Menant imploreth thee, rubbing for thee the feet, chafing for thee the two hands.

This Pepi is the son of the Cow, Smat, the great wife, who conceived him and brought him forth, and set him inside her wing.

Exalted is father Osiris Pepi like Ap-uat .... Thy
