His forms have been carved on the walls of the three chambers. The two weeping and mourning women, the two sisters, protect him; they are the two kites, Aset and Nebt-het, are the ones who transfigure his Ka. The four Asebet goddesses protect the bier. The four Yinepu gods, the four door-keepers of the underworld [...], the sharp-eyed protective gods. The gods of the underworld, who do not leave their districts, are jointly responsible for his protection. Heru the Protector of his Father protects him. Djehuty the Great One reads the festival ritual for him. The gods of Behdet, the Children of Herakhty, the living Ba of Ra in the midst of his children and the underworld gods, who guard the nome [and] his [towns], are in their place, and watch over him.
