CHAPTER LXXXVII.

157 CHAPTER LXXXVII. Chapter whereby one assumeth the form of Se-ta. I am Seta—full of years. I lay myself down [in death], and I am born daily. I am Seta at the confines of the earth. I lay myself down [in death], I restore myself and I renew myself daily. Note. Se-ta [Source image: ⁂] [Source image: ⁂] , literally Filius terrae , is a common noun signifying signifying an earth-worm. It is applied to the Sun as rising out of the earth. There are several pictures at Denderah representing the Sun-god Hor-sam-ta in the form of the worm rising out of the Lotus of Dawn. See pl. xxiii, from Mariette, Dend . I, 47 and 48.
