Appendix 363 \ j Tern. Tern hath done what he said he would do for I Pepi ; he hath tied bands for him about the Ladder, and j he hath made it strong for Pepi. This Pepi is remote I from that which is an abomination to men, and he shall ' not handle that which is an abomination to the gods, he shall not eat that which is he shall not lie down [in death ?] in the night, he shall not keep vigil. He is not without his body like one of the two growths (.'*) of j Kheprer. The bodies of those who are in Tat are reckoned up, and their ears are open to the voice of Pepi. He goeth down among them, reciting the decree of Sekhmef (.^). The existence of Pepi is like that of one ] who is among them. The staff (?) of Pepi is among them like the god of the Great Staff,^ making his advance to Am-urt. The seal of Pepi is in the House of Ruruta. The god who obliterateth sin, Ater-asfet,^ obliterateth the transgressions which belong to Pepi in the presence of Khenti-merti in Sekhem.^
