Saying, to know the Western Bas. By NN, justified, to speak: As for that mountain of the Bachu mountains, on which this sky rests, it lies in the east of the sky. It measures 300 hundred cubits in its length and 150 hundred cubits in its width. Sobek, the lord of Bachu, is in the east of that mountain. His temple is built of carnelian. A snake is on the summit of that mountain. It measures 30 cubits in its length with 8 cubits in front of it as a sharp ("bright" etc.) knife made of flint. NN, justified, knows the name of this snake on its mountain: "He with his fever(?)" is her (ḥfꜣ,w-snake) name. In the afternoon, she turns her eyes 〈towards〉 Re. Then the barque is stopped ("Blocking then strikes the barque"). Great distress prevails among the crew. Then she (the snake) drinks 7 cubits from the great water (=deep navigation). Then Seth, as she flees, thrusts the mtꜣ-spear of bronze against her. Then he makes her vomit everything she has swallowed. Then Seth throws himself against her. Then he says as a spell: "Yield before the sharp bronze in my hand! I stand against you. The journey shall proceed correctly! He (you) who looks from afar, cover your head! I want to cross over. Yield before me! (For) I am a manly one. Cover your head! Cool your upper lip! I am safe, as I am safe. I am He with great "magical power," son of Nut. Against you, my Ach-power has been granted to me. What is that Ach-power, (you) He who goes on his belly, whose power belongs to his sandbank? Behold, I have come against you. Your power is in [my] hand. I am the one with superior ("raised") power. I have come. I want to take away the Aker-snakes for Re! May he set in the evening because of me! (as I?) traverse this sky. You lie in chains. This is what was previously commanded concerning you." Thereupon he, Re, goes in life to his horizon below. I know the escort of the "matter," from which Apophis is repelled. I know the Western Bas: This is Atum. This is Sobek, lord of the Bachu mountains. This is Hathor, lady of the evening.

Spruch, die Westlichen Bas zu kennen. Von NN, gerechtfertigt, zu sprechen: Was jenen Berg des Bachu-Gebirges betrifft, auf dem dieser Himmel aufliegt, er liegt im Osten des Himmels. Er mißt 300 Hundert-Ellen in seiner Länge und 150 Hundert-Ellen in seiner Breite. Sobek, der Herr von Bachu, ist im Osten jenes Berges. Sein Tempel ist aus Karneol (erbaut). Eine Schlange ist auf dem Gipfel jenes Berges. Sie mißt 30 Ellen in ihrer Länge mit 8 Ellen vor ihr als scharfes ("grelles" o.ä.) Messer aus Feuerstein. NN, gerechtfertigt, kennt den Namen dieser Schlange auf ihren Berg: "Der mit seinem Fieber(?)" ist ihr (ḥfꜣ,w-Schlange) Name. Nachmittags, da wendet sie ihre Augen 〈gegen〉 Re. Dann wird die Barke gestoppt ("Blockierung stößt dann der Barke zu"). Große Bestürzung herrscht unter der Mannschaft. Dann schlürft sie (die Schlange) 7 Ellen vom großen Wasser (=tiefes Fahrwasser) ein. Dann stößt Seth, da sie flieht, den mtꜣ-Speer aus Erz gegen sie. Dann läßt er sie alles erbrechen, was sie verschluckt hat. Dann wirft sich Seth ihr entgegen. Dann sagt er als Zauber: "Weiche vor dem spitzen Erz in meiner Hand! Ich stelle mich dir entgegen. Die Fahrt soll richtig verlaufen! Der (du) aus der Ferne schaust, verhülle deinen Kopf! Ich will übersetzen. Weiche vor mir! (Denn) ich bin ein Mannhafter. Verhülle deinen Kopf! Kühle deine Oberlippe! Ich bin wohlbehalten, indem ich wohlbehalten bin. Ich bin Der mit großer "Zauberkraft", Nuts Sohn. Gegen dich ist mir meine Ach-Kraft verliehen. Was ist jene Ach-Macht, (du) Der auf seinem Bauch geht, dessen Kraft zu seiner Sandbank gehört? Siehe, ich bin gegen dich vorgegangen. Deine Kraft ist in [meiner] Hand. Ich bin der mit überlegener ("erhobener") Kraft. Ich bin gekommen. Ich will für Re die Aker-Schlangen fortnehmen! Möge er durch ("wegen") mich am Abend untergehen! (indem?) ich diesen Himmel durchquere. Du liegst in Fesseln. Das ist, was zuvor deinesbezüglich befohlen wurde." Daraufhin geht er, Re, in Leben zu seinem Horizont unter. Ich kenne das Geleit der "Sache", von der Apophis abwehrt ist. Ich kenne die Westlichen Bas: Das ist Atum. Das ist Sobek, Herr des Bachu-Gebirges. Das ist Hathor, Herrin des Abends.
