Commentary

Totumcalmum, saith: I know thee, metherjar, I know thee, salvation boat. For we have performed upon thee, thou abramanation, 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.

The Egyptian Book of the Dead XL, "The Chapter of Driving Back the Eater of the Ass", reads:

"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."
