The Papyrus of Ani, Chapter 50

Text:

A spell for not entering to the god's execution block. Words spoken by the Osiris Ani:

[My backbone] has been fastened to the back of my head for me in heaven, keeper of the earth, by Ra, given the day of establishing my command against the helpless ones on my legs, that day of cutting hair.

My backbone has been fastened to the back of my head by Set, the great company of gods in their formost strength. Let no confusion come into being; may they protect my father from being slain when I seize the Two Lands.

My backbone has been fastened by Nut, who sees the first time truth is seen, when the figures of the gods had not been born.

I am the god Penti; I am the heir of the great gods, the Osiris Ani, true of voice.
