Protection Against a Snake
The snake that came from the earth has fallen, the flame that came from Nun has fallen. Fall down, glide away!
Protection Against a Two-Headed Snake
A face confronts you, you on your belly. Go down on your backbone, you in your nȝw.t-bush. Give way before the snake equipped with her two heads.
Horus and the Snake
The uraeus-snake belongs to heaven, Horus’s centipede belongs in the earth. Horus was a cowherd when he stepped on things. Unis steps on Horus’s gliding path, while Unis does not know the one who is unknown. A face confronts you, you in your nȝw.t-bush, may you be laid on your back, you in your hole. Meat-cooker of Horus, escape into the earth. Let the beast glide away, desert!
The Bull and the Snake
A bull has fallen because of the śdḥ-snake, the śdḥ-snake has fallen because of the bull. Fall down, glide away!
The King as Geb
Tt.w-snake, where are you going? You must not go. Stand beside Unis. Unis is Geb. Hmt-snake, brother of the hmt.t-snake, should your father, Djaamiu, die?
Mafdet’s Protection
The hand of Unis that has come against you, it is a violent hand that has come against you, it is the Mafdet lynx, who is in the house of life. She strikes you in your face, she scratches you in your eyes, so that you fall in your dung and glide in your urine. Fall, lie down, glide away, so that your mother Nut may see you.
Ra and Mafdet Against the Snake
Ra rises at dawn, his uraeus on his head, against this snake that has come out of the earth, and is under the fingers of Unis. He cuts off your head with this knife, which was in the hand of the Mafdet lynx, who lives in the House of Life. He pulls out the teeth in your mouth and drains your poison with those four strings, which served the sandals of Osiris. Snake, lie down! Bull, glide away!
Horus’s Sandal and the Snake
The uraeus-snake is for heaven, the centipede of Horus is for the earth. Horus wore a sandal as he advanced toward the master of the house, the bull of the hole, the fighting snake. Unis will not be beaten, because his protective sycamore is the protective sycamore of Unis, his refuge is the refuge of Unis. Unis eats anyone he finds in his way, bit by bit.
Horus Escapes the Snake
Horus has risen, he escaped the fighting snake. Look at Teti, Teti is Horus, who escaped the fighting snake. Hurry! No messenger is given to him, and his boy is taken away from him. Say: The snake, “Fowling-with-the-phallus,” Horus has smashed its mouth with the sole of his foot.
The King Confronts the Snake
A face confronts you, you in your hole. Lie on your back, you god in the hole, before Teti. Teti is the great mistress. Anyone Teti sees will not live. Anyone on whom Teti’s face falls will not have his head attached again. Śri.w-snake, glide away, you in the nȝw.t-bush, turn over.
Purification and Protection
Teti is pure, his ka is pure. How healthy Teti is, how healthy Teti is, with Horus’s bodily health! How healthy Teti is, how healthy Teti is, with Seth’s bodily health! Teti’s bodily health is to be between you. Teti stretched the bow’s cord as Horus and drew the string as Osiris. That one, the dead person, has gone. This one, Osiris, comes again. “Are you Horus?” A face confronts you. You will be set on your head. “Are you Seth?” A face confronts you. You will be laid on your back. This foot of Teti that he has placed on you is Mafdet’s foot, that hand of Teti that he has placed on you is the hand of Mafdet, who lives in the House of Life. Teti strikes you in your face, so that your saliva runs out. ... your cheek ... Śiw-snake, lie down! n‘w-snake, glide away!
