Saying, to not eat excrement in the afterlife From NN, justified, to speak: My disgust, my disgust, I will not eat my disgust. My disgust is excrement. I will not eat it. The excrement: there is no falling into my body. I will not touch it with my hands. I will not step on it with my feet. "What then will you live on," the gods say concerning me, "in this place to which you have been brought?" I live on these seven loaves of those who fetch their bread from Horus and their bread from Thoth. "Where is it permitted for you to eat?" they, the gods, say concerning me. I eat under this sycamore of Hathor, my lady. I have given my remainder of it to her dancers. In Busiris my fields have been assigned to me and in Heliopolis my greens. I live on bread made from fine emmer. My beer is brewed from reddish barley. My relatives on both my father's and mother's side have been given to me. Gatekeeper of him who speaks to his land, open for me, make space for me, so that I can sit in the place I want.

Spruch, um im Totenreich keinen Kot zu essen Von NN, gerechtfertigt, zu sprechen: Mein Abscheu, mein Abscheu, ich werde meinen Abscheu nicht essen. Mein Abscheu ist Kot. Ich werde ihn nicht essen. Die Exkremente: kein Fallen in meinen Körper gibt es. Ich werde nicht mit meinen Händen an sie kommen. Ich werde nicht mit meinen Füßen auf sie treten. "Wovon willst du denn leben", sagen die Götter mich betreffend, "an diesem Ort, an den du gebracht worden bist?" Ich lebe von diesen sieben Broten derer, die ihr Brot bei Horus und ihr Brot bei Thot holt. "Wo ist es dir erlaubt, daß du ißt?", sprechen sie, die Götter, mich betreffend. Ich esse unter dieser Sykomore der Hathor, meiner Herrin. Meinen Rest davon habe ich ihren Tänzerinnen gegeben. In Busiris sind mir meine Äcker zugesprochen und in Heliopolis meine Grünpflanzen. Ich lebe von Brot aus hellem Emmer. Mein Bier ist aus rötlicher Gerste (gebraut). Meine Angehörigen väter- und mütterlicherseits sind mir gegeben. Türhüter dessen, der (zu) seinem Land spricht, öffne mir, mache mir Platz ("mache weit für mich"), damit ich mich an den Ort setzen kann, an den ich will.
