2. In the three hundred and sixty-third year of Ra-Heru-Khuti, who liveth for ever and forever, His Majesty was in Ta-kens, and his soldiers were with him; [the enemy] did not conspire (auu) against their lord, and the land [is called] Uauatet unto this day.
3. And Ra set out on an expedition in his boat, and his followers were with him, and he arrived at Uthes-heru, [which lay to] the west of this nome, and to the east of the canal Pakhennu, which is called [....... to this day]. And Heru-Behutet was in the boat of Ra, and he said unto his father Ra-Heru-Khuti, I see that the enemies are conspiring against their lord; let thy fiery serpent gain the mastery ..... over them." This text translated by Budge dates to the Ptolemaic Period. Pharaoh was identified with Horus since the beginning of history. Heru-Khuti: Harmachis, Horakhti, Horus of the Horizon, the morning sun. Ra-Heru-Khuti: Re-Horakhti, the combination of Re and Horakhti which was the main god of Heliopolis in historic times. Ta-kens: Nubia Uauatet: also Uaua, Wawat, Lower Nubia Uthes-heru: Edfu Heru-Behutet: Horus of Edfu, came to be identified with Re-Horakhti.

1. Then the Majesty of Ra Harmachis said unto thy divine Ka, O Heru-Behutet, O son of Ra, thou exalted one, who didst proceed from me, overthrow thou the enemies who are before thee straightway." And Heru-Behutet flew up into the horizon in the form of the great Winged Disk, for which reason he is called "Great god, lord of heaven," unto this day. And when he saw the enemies in the heights of heaven he set out to follow after them in the form of the great Winged Disk, and he attacked with such terrific force those who opposed him,
2. that they could neither see with their eyes nor hear with their ears, and each of them slew his fellow. In a moment of time there was not a single creature left alive. Then Heru Behutet, shining with very many colours, came in the form of the great Winged Disk to the Boat of Ra-Harmachis, and Thoth said unto Pa, "O Lord of the gods, Behutet hath returned in the form of the great Winged Disk, shining [with many colours] ..... children;" Winged Disk Source: V.Easy Originally a pair of falcon wings were a symbol for the heaven. Under the 5th dynasty a sun-disk was inserted between the wings, called Behedti, He of the Colourful Feathers, and the symbol was identified with Horus. Two uraei surrounding the disk were added during the late Old Kingdom. very many colours: Behedti, He of the Colourful Feathers
3. for this reason he is called Heru-Behutet unto this day. And Thoth said, "The city Teb shall be called the city of Heru-Behutet," and thus is it called unto this day. And Ra embraced the ...... of Ra, and said unto Heru-Behutet, "Thou didst put grapes into the water which cometh forth from it, and thy heart rejoiced thereat;" and for this reason the water (or, canal) of Heru-Behutet is called "[Grape- Water]" unto this day, and the ........... unto this day.
4. And Heru-Behutet said, "Advance, O Ra, and look thou upon thine enemies who are lying under thee on this land;" thereupon the Majesty of Ra set out on the way, and the goddess Asthertet was with him, and he saw the enemies overthrown on the ground, each one of them being fettered. Then said Ra to Heru-Behutet,
5. "There is sweet life in this place," and for this reason the abode of the palace of Heru- Behutet is called "Sweet Life" unto this day. And Ra, said unto Thoth, "[Here was the slaughter] of mine enemies;" and the place is called Teb unto this day. grapes: drops of blood Asthertet: Ashtoreth ? Asthertet Source: Naville, Mythe d'Horus Teb: Edfu And Thoth said unto Heru-Behutet, "Thou art a great protector (makaa);" and
6. the Boat of Heru-Behutet is called Makaa unto this day. Then said Ra unto the gods who were in his following, "Behold now, let us sail in our boat upon the water, for our hearts are glad because our enemies have been overthrown on the earth;" and the water where the great god sailed is
7. called P-Khen-Ur unto this day. P- Khen-Ur: the great canal And behold the enemies [of Ra] rushed into the water, and they took the forms of [crocodiles and] hippopotami, but nevertheless Ra-Heru-Khuti sailed over the waters in his boat, and when the crocodiles and the hippopotami had come nigh unto him, they opened wide their jaws in order to destroy Ra-Heru-Khuti.
8. And when Heru-Behutet arrived and his followers who were behind him in the forms of workers in metal, each having in his hands an iron spear and a chain, according to his name, they smote the crocodiles and the hippopotami; and there were brought in there straightway six hundred and fifty-one crocodiles,
9. which had been slain before the city of Edfu. Then spake Ra-Harmachis unto Heru-Behutet, "My Image shall be [here] in the land of the South, (which is a house of victory (or, strength);" and the House of Heru-Behutet is called Nekht-Het unto this day. workers in metal: makers and users of metal as opposed to stone weapons Horus having in his hands an iron spear and a chain Source: Naville, Mythe d'Horus In Egypt, the oldest iron tool dates to the New Kingdom (c.1350 BCE), but the use of iron became common only a few centuries later.

1. Then the god Thoth spake, after he had looked upon the enemies lying upon the ground, saying, "Let your hearts rejoice, O ye gods of heaven ! Let your hearts rejoice, O ye gods who are in the earth! Horus, the Youthful One, cometh in peace, and he hath made manifest on his journey deeds of very great might, which he hath performed according to the Book of Slaying the Hippopotamus." And from that day figures of Heru-Behutet in metal have existed. Then Heru- Behutet took upon himself the form of the Winged Disk, and he placed himself upon the front of the Boat of Ra. Slaying the Hippopotamus: Since the Old Kingdom a feast was held in Lower Egypt during which the pharaoh killed a white hippo.
2. And he placed by his side the goddess Nekhebet and the goddess Uatchet, in the form of two serpents, that they might make the enemies to quake in [all] their limbs when they were in the forms of crocodiles and hippopotami in every place wherein be came in the Land of the South and in the Land of the North. Then those enemies rose up to make their escape from before him, and their face was towards the Land of the South. And their hearts were stricken down through fear of him. And Heru-Behutet was at the back (or, side) of them in the Boat of Ra, and there were in his hands a metal lance and a metal chain; and the metal workers who were with their lord were equipped.
3. for fighting with lances and chains. And Heru-Behutet saw them to the south-east of the city of Uast some distance away. Then Ra said to Thoth, "Those enemies shall be smitten with blows that kill;" and Thoth said to Ra, "[That place] is called the city Tchetmet unto this day." And Heru-Behutet made a great overthrow among them, and Ra said, "Stand still, O Heru-Behutet," and [that place] is called "Het-Ra" to this day, and the god who dwelleth therein is Heru-Behutet-Ra-imsu (or, Min). Nekhebet: Nekhbet, goddess of Upper Egypt, often shown in the shape of a vulture Uatchet: Wadjet, goddess of Lower Egypt two serpents: on the pharaonic crown they symbolised the two lands of Egypt. Wadjet on the left, Nekhbet on the right Source: crocodiles and hippopotami: typhonic animals. They had, like Seth himself, positive, protective characteristics as well. Uast: Waset, Thebes
4. Then those enemies rose up to make their escape from before him, and the face of the god was towards the Land of the North, and their hearts were stricken through fear of him. And Heru-Behutet was at the back (or, side) of them in the Boat of Ra, and those who were following him had spears of metal and chains of metal in their hands;
5. and the god himself was equipped for battle with the weapons of the metal workers which they had with them. And he passed a whole day before he saw them to the north-east of the nome of Tentyra. Then Ra said unto Thoth, "The enemies are resting ........ their lord." Tentyra: Dendera
6. And the Majesty of Ra-Harmachis said to Heru-Behutet, "Thou art my exalted son who didst proceed from Nut. The courage of the enemies hath failed in a moment." And Heru-Behutet made great slaughter among them. And Thoth said, "The Winged Disk shall be called.... in the name of this Aat;"
7. and is called Heru -Behutet .... its mistress.
His name is to the South in the name of this god, and the acacia and the sycamore shall be the trees of the sanctuary. Then the enemies turned aside to flee from before him, and their faces were [towards the North, and they went] to
8. the swamps of Uatch-ur, and [their courage failed through fear of him]. And Heru- Behutet was at the back (or, side) of them in the Boat of Ra, and the metal spear was in his bands, and those who were in his following were equipped with the weapons for battle of the metal workers. Nut: In the Heliopolitan tradition goddess of the heaven, mother of the sun and the stars about which is said: They enter her mouth and re-emerge from her womb. She received the epithet Sow devouring her piglets.

Acacia, sycamore swamps of Uatch-ur: The northern part of the Nile delta closest the Mediterranean remained swampy throughout ancient history.
9. And the god spent four days and four nights in the water in pursuit of them, but he did not see one of the enemies, who fled from before him in the water in the forms of crocodiles and hippopotami. At length he found them and saw them. And Ra said unto Horus of Heben, " O Winged Disk, thou great god and lord of heaven,
10. seize thou them ..... ; " and he hurled his lance after them, and he slew them, and worked a great overthrow of them. And he brought one hundred and forty-two enemies to the forepart of the Boat [of Ra], and with them was a male hippopotamus
11. which had been among those enemies. And he hacked them in pieces with his knife, and he gave their entrails to those who were in his following, and he gave their carcasses to the gods and goddesses who were in the Boat of Ra on the river-bank of the city of Heben. Then Ra said unto Thoth,
12. "See what mighty things Heru-Behutet hath performed in his deeds against the enemies: verily he bath smitten them! And of the male hippopotamus he hath opened the mouth, and he hath speared it, and he hath mounted upon its back." Then said Thoth to Ra, "Horus shall be called 'Winged Disk, Great God,
13. Smiter of the enemies in the town of Heben' from this day forward, and he shall be called 'He who standeth on the back' and 'prophet of this god,' from this day forward." These are the things which happened in the lands of the city of Heben, in a region which measured three hundred and forty-two measures on the south, and on the north, on the west, and on the east. he hacked them in pieces with his knife: mutilation of fallen enemies (humans as well) was common practice among the Egyptians, cf. the Narmer Palette for decapitation, Karnak reliefs for cutting off of hands and genitals. the male hippopotamus: Seth. Male hippos were devoid of the protective characteristics females had (as Toeris).

XV.
1. Then the enemies rose up before him by the Lake of the North, and their faces were set towards Uatch-ur which they desired to reach by sailing; but the god smote their hearts and they turned and fled in the water, and they directed their course to the water of the nome of Mertet-Ament, and they gathered themselves together in the water of Mertet in order to join themselves with the enemies [who serve] Set and who are in this region. And Heru-Behutet followed them, being equipped with all his weapons of war to fight against them.
2. And Heru-Behutet made a journey in the Boat of Ra, together with the great god who was in his boat with those who were his followers, and he pursued them on the Lake of the North twice, and passed one day and one night sailing down the river in pursuit of them before he perceived and overtook them, for he knew not the place where they were. Then he arrived at the city of Per-Rehu. And the Majesty of Ra said unto Heru- Behutet, "What hath happened to the enemies? They have gathered together themselves in the water to the west (?) of the nome of Mertet in order to unite themselves with the enemies [who serve] Set, and who are in this region,
3. at the place where are our staff and sceptre." And Thoth said unto Ra, "Uast in the nome of Mertet is called Uaset because of this unto this day, and the Lake which is in it is called Tempt." Then Heru-Behutet spake in the presence of his father Ra, saying, "I beseech thee to set thy boat against them, so that I may be able to perform against them that which Ra willeth;" and this was done. Then he made an attack upon them on the lake which was at the west of this district, and he perceived them on the bank of the city ..... which belongeth to the Lake of Mertet.
4. Then Heru-Behutet made an expedition against them, and his followers were with him, and they were provided with weapons of all kinds for battle, and he wrought a great overthrow among them, and he brought in three hundred and eighty-one enemies, and he slaughtered them in the forepart of the Boat of Ra,
5. and he gave one of them to each of those who were in his train. Then Set rose up and came forth, and raged loudly with words of cursing and abuse because of the things which Heru-Behutet had done in respect of the slaughter of the enemies. And Ra said unto Thoth, "This fiend Nehaha-hra uttereth words at the top of his voice because of the things which
6. Heru-Behutet hath done unto him;" and Thoth said unto Ra, "Cries of this kind shall be called Nehaha-hra unto this day." Uaset: Waset, Thebes Nehaha-hra: 'Stinking face' And Heru-Behutet did battle with the Enemy for a period of time, and he hurled his iron lance at him, and he threw him down on the ground in this region,
7. which is called Pa-Rerehtu unto this day. Then Heru-Behutet came and brought the Enemy with him, and his spear was in his neck, and his chain was round his hands and arms, and the weapon of Horus had fallen on his mouth and had closed it; and he went with him before his father Ra, who said, "O Horus, thou Winged Disk,
8. twice great (Urui-Tenten) is the deed of valour which thou hast done, and thou hast cleansed the district." And Ra, said unto Thoth, "The palace of Heru-Behutet shall be called, 'Lord of the district which is cleansed' because of this;" and [thus is it called] unto this day. And the name of the priest thereof is called Ur-Tenten unto this day.
9. And Ra said unto Thoth, "Let the enemies and Set be given over to Isis and her son Horus, and let them work all their heart's desire upon them." Ur (wr): Great, big And she and her son Horus set themselves in position with their spears in him at the time when there was storm (or, disaster) in the district, and the Lake of the god was
10. called She-en-aha from that day to this. Then Horus the son of Isis cut off the head of the Enemy [Set], and the heads of his fiends in the presence of father Ra and of the great company of the gods, and he dragged him by his feet through his district with his spear driven through his head and back. And Ra said unto Thoth,
11. "Let the son of Osiris drag the being of disaster through his territory;" and Thoth said, "It shall be called Ateh," and this hath been the name of the region from that day to this. And Isis, the divine lady, spake before Ra, saying, "Let the exalted Winged Disk become the amulet of my son Horus, who hath cut off the head of the Enemy and the heads of his fiends."
