his place] above the bow of the Boat of Ra. And he made the goddess
Nekhebit[FN#109] and the goddess Uatchit[FN#110] to be with him in the
form of serpents, so that they might make the Sebau fiends to quake in

fiends) subsided through the fear of him, they made no resistance
whatsoever, and they died straightway.

their fear of him."
