Totumcalmum, saith: I know thee, metherjar, I know thee, sal-
vation boat. For we have performed upon thee, thou abrama-
nation, who comest ever without being invoked, whose coming
is unknown, all the things which the company of the precentors
and of the grammarians of Christpatrick's ordered concerning
thee in the matter of the work of thy tombing.

Egyptian Book of the Dead, 'The Chapter of Driving Back the Eater of the Ass':
"Osiris Ra, triumphant, saith ... I have performed upon thee all the things which the company of the gods ordered concerning thee in the matter of work of thy slaughter. Get thee back, thou abomination of Osiris. ... I know thee. ... O thou that comest without being invoked, and whose [time of coming] is unknown."

Totumcalmum: Tutankhamun, Pharaoh of the Eighteenth dynasty of Egypt.
