531c. after he has caused N. to be nourished with the milk of two black cows, the two nurses of the Souls of Heliopolis.

532a. O Hpȝt, it is grevious for the body of Nut, because of the fury of the divine seed, which shall be in her.

532b. Behold also N.--N. is a divine seed which shall be in her.

533a. Hpȝt, Hnn, Smnn.w,
