Thou lookest towards the underworld and causest the earth to shine as with gold. The dead rise up to gaze on thy face; their hearts are at peace if they but look on thee. Prayer. Praise to thee, O lord of the starry gods of Annu, more glorious than the gods hidden in Annu. Grant thou me a peaceful life, for I am truthful and just. I have uttered no falsehoods nor acted deceitfully. Prayer.

'Empty stomach makes empty head' as they say at Alexandria.
