" Awake in peace, you of back-turned face, in peace,
You who looks backward, in peace...

Unas has come to you
That you may ferry him in this boat in which you ferry the gods.
Unas has come to his side as a god comes to his side,
IInas has come to his shore as a god comes to his shore

Utterance 270
Antechamber, South Wall
The king summons the ferryman "

, Ancient Egyptian Literature, Volume I: The Old and Middle Kingdoms
