abiding [?] in its House of the Shadow [?] ...... , the mummy durable and the sar¬
cophagus not lacking to it, so that it rests in its abode ....... Fair burial comes in peace

thy bones, so that thy natural functions are complete. May the spells which spiritual¬

the king, Tehuti, one singularly efficient for the Lord of the Two Lands, who was not
