beings of light, created with him? Osiris rose as a divine 
hawk. 
Horus incorporated it with his soul to take away the “ things 
of Osiris at the gate.”* 
In passing I must explain that the allusion to the eyelashes 
refers to the partial shielding or concealing of the creative 
powers of the eyes of Horus during his performance of his 
semi-liuman office as the avenger of Osiris. f 
These extracts form the Ritual must suffice, while in the Ap- 
pendix to that mysterious work called the Adoration of Osiris 
by his son Horus, the following passages occur : — 
“ I give glory to thee, 
Osiris, Lord of the gods, 
Great god living in truth 
(Is said) by thy son Horus. 
I have come to thee, 
Bringing thee truth. 
Where are thy attendant gods ? 
Grant me to be with them in thy company. 
I overthrow thy enemies, 
I have prepared thy food on the earth for ever.”J 
In the Assistances of Horus, the various filial offices of the 
benevolent deity are enumerated in a litany of more than forty 
verses, each of them commencing with the formula “I have 
come,” and from these I shall content myself with extracting 
the following. The Rubric of the chapter runs thus : — 
“ The chapter of the Assistances of Horus to his father Osiris, 
when he goes to see his father Osiris, when he comes out of the 
great sanctuary to see him. The sun and Unnefer § he has 
united, one and the other of them as he wishes, resplendent 
in Hades.” 
“ Hail, Osiris ! I am thv son Horus : 
I have come, I have supported thee, 
I have overthrown thy enemies for thee, 
I crush all evil girding thee, 
I attack for thee, 
I lie in wait for thee, 
I have put forth my arm against the shamcrs of thy face, 
I have brought to thee the companions of Seb, tying their 
mouths, 
I have led to thee the south, 
Subdued for thee the north ;
