COMING FORTH BY DAY
[From the Papyrus of Amen-em-heb (Naville, op. cit., Bd. i. Bl. 78).]
The Chapter of coming forth by day. The scribe Mahu saith:
“I have knowledge. I was conceived by the goddess Sekhet, and the goddess Neith gave birth to me; I am Horus, and [I have] come forth from the Eye of Horus. I am Uatchit who came forth from Horus. I am Horus and I fly up and perch myself upon the forehead of Ra in the bows of his boat which is in heaven.”
