Another Chapter, for travelling on the road which is above the earth.
It is I who travel on the Stream(1) which divideth the divine Pair,(2) I am come, let there be given to me the lands of Osiris.
1. ⁂⁂⁂⁂, literally ‘weeping,’ ‘flood of tears,’ hence ‘overflow, inundation, stream or canal.’ It is one of the names of the Nile on earth and in heaven and of his personification as a god. See Chapter 61, and P.S.B.A., XIII, p. 8 and 9.]
2. ⁂⁂⁂ or ⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂ are two divinities in opposition or contrast, like Set and Horus (Chapter 17, 25) or the sister goddesses named ⁂⁂⁂⁂ Mertȧ (37, 1). Thoth is the umpire between Set and Horus (Darkness and Light) and mediates between them, but he and Râ (the Moon and Sun) are (Teta, l. 69) spoken of as the two Rehu gods travelling over the sky.]
