CHAPTER IV
Oh you, magical Figurine, listen to me!
If I am called, if I am condemned to perform every
kind of work asked to the Spirits of the dead in
afterlife, know, oh magical Figurine: as you now
have tools, obey the man in his need!
Take my place before the warders in Duat: in the
sowing of the fields, in the irrigation of the
canals, in the transport of the sand.
From the East to the West….
(The Figurine answers): Here I am… I await for your
commands….
