8 (saying) Speak to us that we may hear it. Said by Ra to Nun : 
Thou firstborn of the gods whose issue I am, and you ancient gods, 
behold the men 
9 who are horn of myself ; they utter words against me ;* speak to me 
what you will do in this occurrence ; behold, I have waited, and I 
have not destroyed them, until I shall have heard 
10 what you have to say. Said by the Majesty of Nun : My son Ra, 
thou'god greater than he who is his father, and who created him ; I 
remain (full of) 
11 great fear before thee ; let thyself consider in thy heart (what we have 
to do). Said by the Majesty of Ra : Behold, they are running away 
over the whole land, and their hearts are afraid 
12 Said by the gods in the presence of His Majesty : May thy face allow 
us to go, and we shall smite those who plot evil things, thy enemies, 
and let none (remain among them) 
13 go as Hathor. The goddess started, and she smote the men over 
the whole land. Said by the Majesty of the god : Come in peace, 
Hathor, thou hast done (what I had prescribed). 
14 Said by the goddess : I am living, that I have prevailed over men, and 
my heart is pleased. Said by the Majesty : I shall prevail over 
them (and I shall complete) 
15 their ruin. And during several nights there was Sechet trampling 
the blood under her feet as far as Heracleopolis. Said by (the 
Majesty of Ra) 
16 I call before me my Messengers ; let them hasten, and run, and hurry 
to the utmost of their strength, and the Messengers (came) 
17 immediately. Said by the Majesty of the god : Let them begin with 
Elephantine, and bring to me fruits in quantity. And when the fruits 
had been brought, they were given 
18 the Sekti of Heliopolis was grinding the fruits while the priestesses 
poured the juice into vases; and those fruits were put in vessels 
(with the) 
19 blood of men ; and there were made seven thousand pitchers of drink. 
And there came the Majesty of the King of Upper and Lower Egypt, 
with the gods to see the drink after he had ordered 
20 to the goddess to destroy the men, in three days of navigation. Said 
by the Majesty of Ra : It is well done, all this. I shall now protect 
21 men on account of this. Said by Ra : I raise now my hand that I 
Amshaspands, beings superior to men and angels, but lower and distinct 
from the gods.
