E.A. Wallis Budge, 1895

O thou great being in whose hand are the divine books, thou guardian of the door of Tuat, I have come. I know thy name, I know the names of the gods who guard thee and who dwell within thee. I speak them with true voice. Open for me! I am the scribe Ani, true of voice, justified before the great god.
