After line 13 the text of Pepi II. has:--

"351. Osiris Pepi Nefer-ka-Ra, this thy libation hath been presented unto thee, and thou art refreshed through Horus in thy name of 'He who cometh forth from the vase of water' (?), 352. and the humours which have come forth from thee have been presented unto thee, and Horus hath caused all the gods to gather themselves together to thee in the place to which thou goest. 353.
