The Chapter of a Tet of Carnelian
The Osiris Ani,
whose word is truth, saith: The blood of Isis, the spells
of Isis, the magical powers of Isis, shall make this
great one strong, and shall be an amulet of protection
[against him] that would do to him the things which
he abominateth.
From
the Papyrus of Nu:
[This Chapter] shall be said over a Tet of carnelian,
which hath been washed in a tincture of ankhamu flowers,
and is fashioned out of the trunk of a sycamore tree. It
shall be placed on the neck of the deceased on the day of
the funeral. If this be done for him the magical powers
of Isis will protect his members. Horus, the son of Isis,
shall rejoice when he seeth him. [No] road shall be
blocked to him. His hand shall be to heaven, his hand
shall be to earth, for ever. Do not let anyone see him.
Verily[...]
From
the Saite Recension:
[This Chapter] shall be said over a Tet of carnelian,
anointed with a tincture of ankhamu flowers, made from
the trunk of a sycamore tree. It shall be placed on the
neck of the Khu. If this book be done for him, the
magical spells of Isis shall protect him, and Horus the
son of Isis shall rejoice [when] he seeth him. No road
shall be blocked to him. His hand shall be to heaven, his
hand shall be to earth [...] If this book be known by him
he shall be in the following of Osiris Un-Nefer, and his
word shall be truth in Khert-Neter. The doors in
Khert-Neter shall be opened to him. Wheat and barley
shall be given to him in Sekhet-Aanru. His name shall be
like [the names of] the gods who are there, the Followers
of Horus who reap.
