To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is possible that it may figure the sacrifice of the bull at Busiris ; vide Herodotus, ii. 61 and 40. Isis and Nepthys bewail the fate of the sufierer, as they do upon the coffins of the dead ; but, with frightful inconsistency, they hold fast the cords which 16 bind the victim to the altar. In the same chamber the god Osiris is exhi- bited in three stages of repose, and there are about one hundred and sixty explanatory lines of hieroglyphics, which, with the aid of the standards, may, withou...t much hesitation, be said to relate to rites performed during the month Choiak at the places claiming the members of Osiris. All the parts of the bull when dismembered are symbols of power and pre-eminence (c). On the opposite side of the temple there is a similar chamber, which con- tains other scenes of the same drama, but it needs to be cleared out in order to be well seen and studied. Passing on to the divine bulls I must remark, that the fullest repre- sentation of them I have anywhere seen is at the temple of Dendera, on the staircases leading to the upper part of the temple.
