The Seven Arits
If [these] words be recited by the spirit when he shall come to the Seven Arits, and as he entereth the doors, he shall neither be turned back nor repulsed before Osiris, and he shall be made to have his being among the blessed spirits, and to have dominion among the ancestral followers of Osiris. If these things be done for any spirit he shall have his being in that place like a lord of eternity in one body with Osiris, and at no place shall any being contend against him.
The name of the Doorkeeper is Atek-tau-kehaq-kheru. The name of the Watcher is An-her. The name of the Herald is Ates-her-[ari]-she.
The Osiris the
scribe Ani, whose word is truth, shall say [when he cometh to
this Arit]: "I have come daily, I have come daily. I have
made myself a way. I have advanced over that which was created by
Anpu (Anubis). I am the Lord of the Urrt Crown. I am the
possessor [of the knowledge of] the words of magical power, I am
the Avenger according to law, I have avenged [the injury to] his
Eye. I have defended Osiris. I have accomplished my journey. The
Osiris Ani advanceth with you with the word which is truth."
