"Acting:" O old man young again in his time, young or old who becomes again! Allow me to come and Thoth to my prayer for me and rejecting Nehaher. Osiris is on the water, the Eye of Horus is with him. The large beetle hovering over him, powerful fist, which begat the gods when he was young that if you approach him in pain, you approach similarly tear to the eye of Horus. Back to you beings who were in the water, or an enemy, or dead, dead, or opponent - may you perish! - Ankhmnevis of the son of Imhotep, or attacking and the like! Do not lift your face or you who are in the water until Osiris passes over you. There he is! Stop, block your throat. Back to you or the enemy! Do not lift your face and your eyes to those who are suffering: they are the God Osiris. When Ra goes up on the boat to visit the Ennead of Kher'aha, the lords of the Duat rose to cut you to pieces. When Nehaher moves against Osiris, while the water is the Eye of Horus is upon him. " On the sides of the stele and the front hoof runs an inscription translated by Sist: "Acting: Hail to thee, O God, the son of a god! Hail to thee heir, the son of an heir! Greetings to you, or bull, born of a divine cow! Hail to thee, Horus or released, born of Isis the divine! I speak in your name. I play you the magic formula. I speak through your magical power. [I beg you have created with their fingers crossed]
